The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport became the largest cargo hub in the US last year, according to historical data from the Airports Council International. This is due to the airport's steady growth in cargo volume landed there in recent years, despite President Donald Trump's tariffs affecting global trade patterns. The rise was also due to a significant decline in cargo volumes at the Memphis International Airport, which has been the dominant cargo airport in the U.S. With 3.9 million tons of cargo landed, Anchorage was only the Hong Kong and Shanghai airports globally. Over 30 cargo carriers using the airport have significantly increased their cargo landings in Anchorage, including China Airlines and Taiwan-based EVA Air Cargo.
