Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport has completed a 36-acre cargo campus and an extension of Taxiway G, adding facilities and aircraft access as part of an approximately $80 million investment in cargo operations.
The campus has two cargo buildings. One covers about 65,000 square feet; the other is designed to accommodate multiple tenants. UPS and FedEx are already part of the airport’s cargo operation, and airport marketing and air service development director Lori Lynah said space remains available for additional cargo companies.
The work also extends Taxiway G with new pavement and a bridge over Gulfstream Road. The airport says the expanded taxiway and facilities are designed so aircraft can enter and leave the cargo complex simultaneously, helping streamline operations and the movement of goods.
Lynah said the infrastructure took years to complete. The first bridge was finished in 2013, and the concrete apron followed in 2021.
Airport officials say the added capacity is important as Savannah and nearby areas attract businesses and manufacturing operations that depend on transportation and logistics. Airport leaders scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony for 2 p.m. Tuesday to mark the completed projects.
