摘要

Atlanta is the new Miami. Dallas-Forth Worth is the new Los Angeles. If only targeting a new air cargo gateway were as easy as making a simple declaration of intent. Last month, Bob Pertierra, Metro Atlanta Chamber's vice president of supply chain and manufacturing, talked to American Shipper about Atlanta's hopes to snare Latin American freighter carriers away from their traditional U. S. gateway, Miami. Pertierra wasn't necessarily talking about Atlanta's airport becoming the next Miami, but he saw reasons for Latin American carriers to think twice about staying in Florida.
