1Dedicated to the exclusive transportation of cargo, all-cargo operations do not include aircraft carrying passengers that also may be carrying cargo. Aircraft landed weight is the certificated maximum gross landed weight of the aircraft as specified by the aircraft manufacturers.

2Anchorage includes a large share of all-cargo operations in-transit.

3The significant 2006 decrease in landed weight at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport was due to a major reduction in DHL Airways' cargo operations, which have since rebounded.

4Airport rankings change each year. Totals represent the top 25 airports for each year, not necessarily the top 25 airports listed here for 2009.

5Limited to airports with an aggregate landed weight in excess of 100 million pounds (50,000 short tons) annually.

Note:

1 short ton = 2,000 pounds.
