Cargo Operators at O'Hare

Chicago O'Hare International Airport is a global leader in the movement of freight, mail, and goods. The airport consistently ranks in the top 10 in North America and the top 25 in the world in terms of its annual air cargo volume, in excess of one million tons. O'Hare air cargo is among the nation's and the region's most valuable imports and exports, representing billions of dollars in annual trade, from electronics and machinery to fine clothing and medicines. These goods can reach over 200 cities non-stop throughout the United States and the world on over 30 passenger airlines and over a dozen cargo carriers that serve O'Hare. As a major supply chain hub, freight forwarders, brokers, and corporations enjoy the superior advantages of Chicago's distribution infrastructure, central geography, large economy, and expressway network.
