Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) has been ranked the 12th largest US cargo airport by landed cargo weight in the latest Federal Aviation Administration’s rankings.
This is its highest-ever position in the annual list, climbing from 14th place in the previous edition.
The airport recorded 3.4 billion lbs of landed cargo weight in 2025, a 9.2% increase over the previous year.
Executive director, Zack Oakley said: “Our focus has always been on delivering an airport built around the needs of air cargo, and as volumes continue to grow, we’re committed to providing the operational reliability, efficiency, and flexibility that our customers depend on.”
The announcement follows RFD’s recent expansion of its partnership with DSV, which will see the introduction of a new scheduled weekly service between Luxembourg and Rockford.
