AIR cargo activity at San Bernardino (SDB) International Airport continued its rapid ascent for a fifth straight year, fuelling tremendous growth for the Airport and its partners.
Just 60 miles east of Los Angeles and centred adjacent to major transportation corridors, SBD International Airport provides a fast track to the estimated 4.7 million consumers in Southern California's Inland Empire.
Its state-of-the art infrastructure supports the daily operations of cargo giants, including Amazon Air, FedEx, and UPS.
In 2021, air cargo landed weight at the Airport rose to 872 million pounds, representing an 85 per cent annual increase and a staggering five-year growth rate of 4,24 per cent.
Now a major player in air cargo, SBD ranks among the top 35 cargo airports in the United States, according to London's Air Cargo News.
For air cargo and supply chain operators seeking to launch or expand in the region, SBD's ideal location and competitive cost structure present an unrivalled opportunity.
Providing a strategic, cost-effective base of operations for air cargo and logistics companies has spurred growth for the airport and its partners.
In 2016, cargo activity at the airport was minimal, totalling a mere 36 flights. UPS began operations in December of that year with a single daily flight and a 5,000-square-foot building. It has expanded to 60,000 square feet and operates up to twelve daily flights during peak periods.
FedEx experienced similar expansion. After its initial flights in 2018, the company signed a 10-year lease and built a second facility. It currently employs 70 people.
Amazon Air is the latest cargo giant to choose SBD. The retailer began operations of its new regional air hub at the Airport in April 2021.
With a 35-year lease, 100 acres, and over 700,000 square-feet in facilities, the project will boost growth for decades.
'The Amazon Air Regional Air Hub represents the successful culmination of our long-term vision,' says Michael Burrows, the airport's CEO.
