The
primary all-cargo carriers serving TPA are Airborne Express, DHL,
Emery Worldwide and Federal Express. The remaining carriers, with
the exception of Capital, are air taxi operators using small aircraft
typically carrying blood samples and bank documents. These carriers
are Air Carrier, Bankair, Flight Express and
US Checks.
The
number one commodity shipped by air out of Florida is industrial/commercial
machinery and computers, followed by smaller electrical/electronic
machinery and supplies. The third most popular export group includes
optical instruments and lenses, medical and dental equipment, and
photographic equipment. For passenger airlines, a large portion
of cargo is comprised of human remains.

Air Cargo Marketing Study
The Aviation Authority has been updating and evaluating the Air Cargo Marketing analysis for Tampa International Airport. Air cargo service is provided on a scheduled and non-scheduled basis by the passenger airlines and by the integrated all-cargo carriers. Currently, there is no regularly scheduled service by traditionally non-integrated all-cargo carriers.
With the Tampa area being one of the largest manufacturing regions in the state, it is essential to identify and quantify the existing and future air cargo market at Tampa. More critically important, to determine whether the local Tampa Bay air cargo market is adequately served.
The primary focus of the update concentrated on Tampa International, but our three general aviation airports were also considered. A final report and plan is scheduled to be adopted February 2000.
