Cargo-centric airports are increasingly adopting a proactive investment approach, drawing inspiration from the phrase “build it, and they will come.” This strategy has led to significant advancements in infrastructure and technology, aimed at meeting the growing demands of global trade. Airports like Anchorage and Frankfurt are enhancing their capabilities to improve efficiency and cater to specific cargo needs. While these investments carry risks, they have shown resilience during market fluctuations, reinforcing the importance of dedicated cargo hubs in a fast-paced logistics landscape. Looking forward, hybrid airport models may emerge, but the value of specialized cargo facilities remains paramount.
