CVG is the fastest growing cargo airport in the world, with 70% growth over the last five years. 

To continue this growth, the airport has a vison to develop 350 acres of airside real estate called Hangar Row on the airport’s south side of campus. The project’s goal is to create a one-stop-shop on airport property with the development of additional aircraft repair and maintenance operations.
