Love this macro analysis!  Louisville has the UPS super-hub. Where does it sit? Sounds like a southern advantage for cargo because of minimal snow. Where is the next super hub?

@Chad-ep3yk

I live in Alabama and I can answer this. In the south you’re looking at Mabye Nashville, charlotte, or Atlanta to fly out of. Yes there are some international airports around states like Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc…. But the price to fly out of airports in the south excluding Miami and Fort Lauderdale are sky high. Miami area airports don’t make sense for anyone unless your traveling their because they are so remote. Therefore that leaves Atlanta.  By far the cheapest is Atlanta. So you have millions of people using Atlanta as their gateway to the south. I have flown out of Atlanta 10+ times since 2024 and I live 3 hours away. Not to mention I live in Birmingham and we have an international airport but it’s 3x the cost to fly out of. Also delta airlines is based in Atlanta so  a ton of their stopovers are in Atlanta. It’s known as the stopover hub and the gateway to the south.

for cargo stops it doesn’t add any economic output to the economy except few hundred jobs?
