“We’re proud to expand our Amazon Air operations into\nNew Hampshire as we continue to invest in the New England region,” said\nChris Preston, Director of Amazon Air Gateway Operations. “This brand-new\nfacility at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport will help us better serve our\ncustomers and ensure we deliver packages quickly and efficiently across New\nEngland.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 65,000-square-foot multitenant cargo building was built\nthrough a partnership with the Airport and real estate investment company\nRealterm. The new facility offers three widebody aircraft parking positions\nmanaged by the Airport, with the option to expand to a fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is Amazon Air’s first expansion into New Hampshire, and\nAmazon is the first tenant to operate from the new facility. Flights will be operated\nby cargo airline Atlas Air, with ground handling by Trego-Dugan Aviation and\naircraft maintenance by Keenan Technical Industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are proud to\nbe part in this historic project with MHT and Amazon,” said Alexi\nLachambre, Vice President of Investments for Airport Infrastructure at\nRealterm. “MHT’s leaders have proven to be dynamic and visionary partners,\nable to capitalize on the surge of e-commerce and create economic opportunity\nfor their broader community. As demand for air cargo continues to grow,\nexceptional infrastructure projects such as this will help to relieve pressure\non the regional distribution network while also garnering the interest of major\nlogistics players. We look forward to continuing our partnership with MHT and\nsupporting future expansion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new facility will drive economic growth in the region\nfor years to come. In addition to creating hundreds of jobs in the Granite\nState, the multitenant facility will allow for better connectivity in the world\nof e-commerce, further positioning the Airport as an economic hub for the\nregion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Business and commerce are booming here in the\n603,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “This new Amazon Air operation will\ngrow New Hampshire’s role in e-commerce and the global economy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m thrilled to see the completion of the new cargo\nfacility apron at MHT, which will nearly double the Airport’s cargo capacity\nand lower transportation costs while supporting local businesses and promoting\njob creation throughout the region,” said Senator Jeanne Shaheen.\n“When I fought to secure $7.8 million for this project in the fiscal year\n2022 federal government funding law, I knew it was going to be a smart\ninvestment for our state. Through my role on the Senate Appropriations\nCommittee, I’ll continue to advocate on behalf of transportation and\ninfrastructure projects at MHT and across New Hampshire.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is already an\nindustry-leading cargo facility, so this new partnership with Amazon Air is a\nwelcomed addition,” said Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig. “This project\nwill provide more jobs for our residents in addition to boosting our local\neconomy. Thank you to the entire Airport team and the project engineers,\narchitects and contractors for your tireless commitment to making this project\nhappen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This facility will enhance the connectivity of New\nEngland with the world of e-commerce,” said Taylor Caswell, the NH\nDepartment of Business and Economic Affairs Commissioner. “According to\nthe International Air Transport Association, 52% of consumers bought more\nonline during the pandemic, fueling the value of e-commerce which is now\nexpected to total $2.1 trillion in 2023 with 80% of cross-border e-commerce\nbeing transported by air. Having this facility in New Hampshire will allow the\nGranite State, and all of Northern New England, to tap into this growing sector\nof the global economy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cargo activity played a vital role during the pandemic to\nhelp offset decreased air travel and passenger revenues. With the additional\naircraft that this facility will accommodate, the Airport will be able to\ncontinue its trend of lowering airline operating costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
