"This has put demand on the airport’s existing infrastructure, signaling to officials that it's time to move forward with plans to build an additional 90,000-square-foot facility, said Mookie Patel, chief of business and finance for the airport."
“We’ve accelerated (plans) because of the pandemic," Patel said. “Cargo activity has really grown here. And with Austin's continuous in-migration and growth projections, these cargo airlines are not letting go of that supply chain that they've solidified, so the demand for these facilities continues to grow."
