JFK, Cargo Facilities
Although JFK ranks 7th
on this list for total cargo volume
by weight, it claims the
top spot in the US for cargo
value. The Port Authority
of NY & NJ, which operates
JFK, has invested over $7 billion
in the airport to-date.
With 1,700 acres dedicated
to freight and some 4 million
ft2 of cargo facilities supporting
600 international freight
forwarders, JFK boasts some
unique capabilities. For example:
the Ark, a 78,000 ft2 facility
designed to handle animals
of all kinds, including
livestock and exotic animals,
opened in 2017. The new
70,000 ft2 Air France-KLM
facility adds B747-8F aircraft
capability. The airport offers
extensive cold-chain processing
capabilities for pharmaceuticals,
food, and perishables.
The entire cargo area
is designated as an FTZ, and
it’s home to U.S. Customs
for the Northeast region.
The airport benefits from its

proximity to the Ports of NY
and NJ, and access to an extensive
East Coast/National
rail network. It also caters
to trucking: the JFK Airport
Travel Plaza offers truckers
parking, fuel, food, and rest
services — the first of it’s
kind in the US.

Delta ‘s profit sharing
Employees, now environment wins
Starting March 1, 2020,
Delta Air Lines is committing
$1 billion over the next
10 years on its journey to
mitigate all emissions from
its global business going forward.
The airline will invest
in driving innovation, advancing
clean air travel technologies,
accelerating the reduction
of carbon emissions and
waste, and establishing new
projects to mitigate the balance
of emissions.
-Delta commits $1 billion
to become first carbon neutral
airline globally
-10-year commitment to
mitigate all emissions from
March 2020 forward
-Strategy will mitigate
emissions across Delta’s business
globally – in the air and
on the ground
-Efforts will drive innovation,
clean air tech, emissions
and waste reduction
“There is no substitute
for the power that travel has
to connect people, which our
world needs today more than
ever before. As we connect
customers around the globe,
it is our responsibility to deliver
on our promise to bring
people together and ensure
the utmost care for our environment,”
said Ed Bastian,
Delta’s CEO. “The time is now
to accelerate our investments
and establish an ambitious
commitment that the entire
Delta team will deliver.”
Delta’s approach to tackling
carbon reduction and
sustainability reflects the focus
and rigor it has become
known for, and that it used
to build a financially secure
airline. This announcement
comes as Delta pays $1.6 billion
in profit sharing to employees
this Valentine’s Day,
and reflects its longstanding
approach to placing a high
value on supporting all stakeholders
and communities
worldwide.
“There’s no challenge we
face that is in greater need
of innovation than environmental
sustainability, and we
know there is no single solution.
We are digging deep into
the issues, examining every
corner of our business, engaging
experts, building coalitions,
fostering partnerships
and driving innovation,” Bastian
said. “We are on a journey,
and though we don’t
have all the answers today,
we know that our scale, along
with investments of time, talent
and resources will bring
meaningful impact to the
planet and ensure the sustainability
of our business for decades
to come.”
The aviation industry accounts
for roughly 2 percent
of global carbon dioxide emissions.
Delta’s carbon footprint
is its largest environmental
impact, with 98 percent
of emissions coming from its
aircraft. Here is how the company
is focusing its efforts to
become carbon neutral:
Carbon reduction: Reducing
Delta’s carbon footprint
through enterprise-wide efforts
to decrease the use of jet
fuel and increase efficiency.
Areas of focus include an
ambitious fleet renewal program,
improved flight operations,
weight reduction, and
increased development and
use of sustainable aviation
fuels.Carbon removal: Investing
in innovative projects
and technology to remove carbon
emissions from the atmosphere
that go beyond the airline’s
current commitments,
and investigating carbon removal
opportunities through
forestry, wetland restoration,
grassland conservation, marine
and soil capture, and
other negative emissions technologies.
Stakeholder engagement:
Building coalitions with our
employees, suppliers, global
partners, customers, industry
colleagues, investors and
other stakeholders to advance
carbon reduction and removal
goals and maximize our global
impact.
“When customers choose
to fly Delta, they should feel
they’re making a statement
about taking care of our
planet,” Bastian said. “Our
commitment to carbon neutrality
means flying with
Delta represents far more
than a great travel experience
– it’s about joining arms to create
a better world.”
Delta’s carbon strategy
will account for emissions
across its business – both in
the air and on the ground.
Delta’s investment will create
new projects and methods
to reduce its carbon footprint,
benefit global communities
and make it easier for other
organizations to explore similar
options to address their
own carbon footprints – all
while minimizing reliance on
today’s limited carbon offset
markets. To support this strategy,
Delta will allocate some of
its financial commitment into
investment vehicles, including
a dedicated fund focused
on achieving its carbon neutral
ambition.
The Delta Environmental
Sustainability Principles
will guide the airline’s efforts
to advance its path to carbon
neutrality and overall sustainability.
They are:
Action – Make progress
continually by leveraging the
tools of today even as we work
to drive progress on a global
scale. Embed environmental
impact as a consideration in
every business decision.
Innovation – Investigate,
enable and advance new projects,
innovative technologies
and operational efficiencies to
substantially reduce and mitigate
emissions and our overall
environmental footprint.
Collaboration – Engage
with employees, suppliers,
global partners, customers,
investors and other stakeholders
with the understanding
that environmental protection
must be a shared goal.
Evolution – Be nimble in
evolving and adjusting in response
to the latest scientific
findings and technological developments.
Transparency – Continue
to publicly report on our goals
and progress, aligned with
leading disclosure frameworks
and standards, and
track efforts and achievements
through our robust governance
structure.
