In 2011, 86,001 cargo metric tons were handled at KCI. Integrated cargo carriers,
FedEx and UPS, account for 89 percent of total air cargo handled at KCI. A shift to
widebody aircraft such as the A300 and MD11 has occurred at KCI over the past
five years as integrated carriers have shifted away from narrowbody B727 and DC9
aircraft. Figure 1.3-5, 2011 Air Cargo Tonnage by Carrier, depicts the tonnage
splits by carrier.
