Milwaukee Mitchell Airport opens new 337,000‑sq‑ft air cargo center

Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and developer Crow Holdings held a ribbon‑cutting ceremony for a new 337,000‑square‑foot air cargo facility on October 14, 2026, after construction that began in February 2025 was completed on schedule and within budget.

The Air Cargo Center, located at the MKE Regional Business Park on the former 440th Airlift Wing site, can accommodate five Boeing 747‑400 aircraft at the same time and is projected to generate more than $1.3 million in annual aircraft landing fees and over $1 million in ground‑lease rents and fees.
