#10: Kalitta Air ditches JFK, launches freighter services from smaller Stewart Airport
With several major airports facing congestion issues in the U.S. and abroad, some cargo operators are turning to smaller airports to escape the congestion. In May, Kalitta Air did just that with the launch of a new scheduled freighter service connecting Los Angeles (LAX) to Stewart Airport (SWF) for the U.S. Postal Service. The service had initially been between LAX and New York’s JFK Airport, but Kalitta switched to SWF “because of the slot difficulties at JFK,” Kalitta’s vice president and general manager Pete Sanderlin said.
