At Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, cargo is our focus.  Gateway is the region’s cargo growth airport and a valuable resource to the Phoenix metropolitan area, the State of Arizona, and the southwest region of the United States.

 

The Phoenix/Mesa area is home to 64% of Arizona’s residents, high tech manufacturers, major service corporations, State and local government offices, and Arizona State University. The region’s airfreight is high in value and low in weight – ideal for air cargo carriers. In 2002, Arizona’s international air shipments ranked #1 in the U.S. in value per kilo and #8 in total value.

 

Gateway offers many advantages to air cargo carriers and related cargo businesses.
