Location, infrastructure and talent. Those three elements combine to make

Charlotte ideal for distribution and logistics operations. Located at a strategic

point on the East Coast between major ports and inland cities, the Charlotte

region provides easy access to the bulk of the United States’ population.

Transportation assets include Charlotte Douglas International Airport (sixth

busiest airport in the nation by total aircraft movements) the intersection of two

major interstate highways, an inland terminal operated by the North Carolina

Ports Authority and Norfolk Southern’s state-of-the-art intermodal facility. It’s no

wonder that 137,000 people in the region work in logistics-related occupations.

And the region’s 25 college, plus 18 community colleges and vocational schools,

are busy training the next generation of the logistics workforce with specialized

certificates and degrees at all levels.

Transportation & Logistics6 charlotte.global

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is the sixth busiest airport in the nation by total aircraft movements and 23rd largest in the world by passenger volume. This can be attributed, in part, to CLT’s status as American Airlines’ second largest hub. The airport averages about 700 daily flights to more than 150 destinations. The airport ranks 33rd nationwide for cargo shipments. Both domestic and international freight services are available to and from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, South America and Central America.

CLT has undergone major changes in recent years, with more expansion projects planned through 2017. New parking deck and rental car facilities were built to accommodate current and future passenger growth, while a new checked baggage system and food court expansion were designed to enhance passenger experience. Plans are underway to expand the terminal lobby, add a new, longer parallel runway, and construct a new concourse that will provide additional capacity for domestic flights.

INTERMODAL

A public-private venture with Norfolk Southern, Charlotte’s Intermodal Facility links air, sea and truck transportation in one strategically located place. The facility is located on airport grounds and is capable of 200,000 lifts annually. Charlotte’s Intermodal Facility offers businesses an efficient and convenient mode of shipping freight to various destinations, as the yard sits only 40 feet below two taxiway bridges with easy access to two interstates – I-85 and I-485. It also offers access to trains as railroad tracks extend a mile along the airfield.

The intermodal yard is an important aspect of Norfolk Southern’s Southern Crescent Corridor Project, which will provide one of the fastest, most direct routes to major cities along the eastern seaboard.

“The Intermodal terminal connects Charlotte to modern flows of commerce for raw goods and finished product distribution,” said Stuart Hair, economic affairs manager at CLT.

Logistics’ role in the future of the airport area“Charlotte Douglas International airport is embarking on a $2.5 billion capital improvement program to meet existing demands,” said Stuart Hair. “Additionally, the highest and best use of the approximately 3,000 acres owned by the airport not needed for aeronautical activity is being examined. Logistics will play a vital role in the growth and development of the airport area, with initial concepts providing increased direct connectivity to the variety of transportation modes.”
