The industry of cargo and freight has gained a lot of traction in recent years. From transporting consumer goods for the e-commerce industry to contributing in getting military goods and even transporting space shuttles and rocket components, cargo has become an important part of our lives.
With the introduction of new international courier services and the ever expanding fleet of the existing ones, transporting the goods is just one of the components of this industry. The other is having cargo air hubs which provide hangars and also are the ports where the goods are both loaded and dismounted. The best cargo air hubs provide world class facilities like fast refueling and even having storage facilities for excess goods.
