UPS begins Gary airport operations - NWI
UPS began operations at Gary/Chicago International Airport Monday with the arrival of an Airbus A300 jet carrying Next Day Air service packages for delivery. The plane will be loaded with outgoing packages, bound tonight for the company's Louisville global distribution hub.
UPS and the airport entered a lease agreement earlier this year that will have a jet makes that round-trip each weekday. UPS had said it would start operations in advance of the holiday season.
“The beginning of UPS operations continues our long-term strategy of encouraging private investment to support our overall mission at the airport,” Airport Authority Chairman Timothy Fesko said in an announcement of the start of operations. “By offering further cargo operations service, we continue to fill our role as a critical component in the Chicago regional air system, while also serving as a key economic engine for the Northwest Indiana region.”
