Mayor Aims for Cargo Growth
Proclaiming himself a “strong partner to help grow the cargo sector,” Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed shared his desire to create 5,000 cargo-related jobs in the next five years at a luncheon of the Atlanta Air Cargo Association on April 20 at the Atlanta Airport Marriott. According to Reed, cargo is unique because “it can create jobs across multiple layers.”
Reed applauded Hartsfield-Jackson’s dominance in passenger traffic and said it is time to move to the next phase and explore new opportunities in air cargo.
The Atlanta Air Cargo Association comprises representatives from the major cargo carriers and logistics firms that operate at Hartsfield-Jackson.
