According to a report by Robert Malone of Forbes magazine, here is a list of the world’s largest cargo airports in terms of metric tons handled. There is also a slideshow detailing each specific airport.

I found it interesting to note that even with the growth in China none of it’s airports, with the exception of Hong Kong, made the top ten. Fedex’s Memphis hub still holds the top spot.

The 12 largest cargo airports in the world are:

Airport Metric tons handled (2004)

1. Memphis 3,554,575

2. Hong Kong 3,119,008

3. Tokyo (Narita) 2,375,133

4. Anchorage 2,252,911

5. Seoul 2,133,444

6. Los Angeles Inter. 1,913,676

7. Paris (Charles De Gaulle) 1,876,980

8. Frankfurt 1,838,894

10. Miami 1,778,902

11. Louisville 1,739,492

12. New York (JFK) 1,706,468
