OPPORTUNITY?
Ohio AIR
Q: Which airport handles the least airfreight – Cleveland Hopkins, Toledo Express, Rickenbacker?
http://www.toledoexpress.com/air-cargo/cargo-destination-map
Worldwide Shenker acquired domestic BAX Global in March 2009, giving Toledo international access for the first time. Toledo allows Schenker to avoid gateway entry ports
Deutsche Bahn/Shenker/BAX Global:#1 in European land transportation#2 in worldwide air freight#3 worldwide ocean freight$22.7B revenues
New Toledo/Australia route, New Toledo/Germany/Dubai “skybridge”
A Toledo niche
Conclusions:1. Columbus and Toledo have done a
wonderful job of improving their infrastructure.
2. NEO has a golden opportunity for water and opportunities for rail and rail/truck
