It used to be a hub for Trans World Airlines. In its heyday in 2000, the airport processed almost 300 million pounds of cargo, says David Lancaster, director of cargo development at the airport.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aircargoworld.com\/Air-Cargo-News\/2013\/04\/missouri-tries-to-attract-air-cargo\/0313174\">Read more on Air Cargo World<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While this would be a great move for the any logistics provider or their customers, the airlines would still need to be convinced this will create the demand for direct international flights from STL Airport.\u00a0 Currently there is no international flights directly from STL, and based on the current economy they would need to work hard to get airlines to see the benefit for them. So for now we will keep our fingers crossed and jump at the opportunity if it presents itself.<\/p>\n<p>Questions? Comments?
