Anchorage Airport- Where Cargo is King

Here in Anchorage, we see lots of cargo come and go.

Anchorage is a main stopping point between the United States and Asia for cargo jets.

Did you know that ANC is:

#1 Airport in the U.S. for landed weight of cargo aircraft
#1 Airport for excellent service according to a survey in Air Cargo World magazine
#3 Airport in the world for cargo throughput

There are some days where I see between 8 and 12 747 cargo jets on the ground here at ANC at any given time. They stop to refuel and exchange cargo between aircraft. Once I get on the dayshift, I will be sure and get some photos of all these aircraft lined up.

Christmas is coming! So are the cargo jets!
