By: Alabama News Center Staff

With the ceremonial turning of dirt, the Birmingham Airport Authority is preparing to start construction of a $27 million Air Cargo Facility at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. The new building will be home base for a new line of business that includes weekly, scheduled international cargo flights from Stuttgart, Germany.

“This has been a long-term goal of the airport, and to see it all coming together is a huge win for our community,” said Darlene Wilson, chair of the Birmingham Airport Authority. “We have the infrastructure in place. We have the best partners in the business. And we have the determination to continue building on what we established earlier this year.”
