Milwaukee Airport starts construction on a new cargo facility to enhance trade in the Midwest.

Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) has begun construction on a state-of-the-art cargo facility in partnership with Crow Holdings, aimed at enhancing Wisconsin's logistics capabilities and alleviating congestion at nearby Illinois airports. The 337,000-square-foot facility will accommodate multiple Boeing 747-400 freighters and is expected to generate significant revenue while improving air cargo operations. Set to open in 2026, this project represents a substantial investment in the region's infrastructure, positioning Milwaukee as a key hub for air freight and attracting international logistics firms.
