British Airways’ direct service to London Heathrow Airport from CVG started in June 2023 and Delta announced it will increase direct service to Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport from its current three times per week to daily this summer.

As the world’s fastest-growing cargo airport, CVG has achieved a 70% increase in cargo over the past five years.

CVG developed a plan to capitalize on the cargo momentum with Hangar Row, 350 acres of airside real estate on the southern side of its campus, to establish a comprehensive on-site facility, integrating additional aircraft repair and maintenance operations.
