Memphis International recognized as top cargo airport in North America

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis International Airport was recognized by Air Cargo World as the top cargo airport in North America in the 1,000,000 or more tonnes category.

The airport received the company’s Air Cargo Excellence Award.

Each year, Air Cargo World conducts its Excellence Survey which evaluates each airport in three separate categories: performance, value and facilities.

The survey is given to freight forwarders, cargo agents, and third-party logistics providers.

Only the airports and airlines achieving the highest scores are recognized.

“We are honored to be recognized as industry leaders by our aviation peers and colleagues,” said Scott Brockman, President and CEO of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority. “Cargo has a huge impact on both the local and worldwide economy, and we will continue to strive to facilitate its growth at MEM.”
