In partnership with global airfreight forwarders and Korean Air Cargo, Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK) recently became the world’s only airport serving Korean Air Cargo’s new fleet of cargo- converted passenger aircraſt. In these uncharted times, Korean Air Cargo has boldly initiated


new nonstop cargo service between


Seoul, Korea and


Columbus, Ohio. The passenger seats of two of Korean Air Cargo’s Boeing


777-300 aircraſt were removed to allow more freight capacity. This reconfiguring for cargo takes advantage of otherwise idle aircraſt, temporarily out of commission due to the suspension of international passenger flights. These cargo-only flights


carrying clothing, automobile parts, electronics parts and other products link Korean Air Cargo’s extensive cargo hub in Seoul to Columbus. Rickenbacker International is


one of the world’s only cargo- dedicated airports, moving airfreight between planes and trucks faster than any other global gateway, and serving the eastern half of the United States and Canada. “Progressive companies like


Korean Air Cargo are drawn to Rickenbacker’s geographic advantage, world-class logistics assets and robust logistics ecosystem,” said Joseph R. Nardone, President & CEO of the Columabus Regional Airport
