Notes

Air gateways include a low level (generally less than 3% of the total value of freight shipped through small user-fee airports located in the same area as the gateways listed. Air gateways not identified by airport name (e.g., Chicago, IL) include major airport(s) in that area and small regional airports. Due to Census Bureau confidentiality regulations, courier operations are included in airport totals for only New York (JFK), Los Angeles, Chicago, and Anchorage; and data for Memphis International Airport are included in the New Orleans Customs District.
