MIC Cargo responds to the perception of O'Hare International Airport losing business

 MIC Cargo responds to the perception of O'Hare International Airport losing business



Chicago-based ground handler MIC Cargo and a portfolio company of Inoa Ventures, are pushing back against the widely held perception that Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is an overly-congested hub losing business to nearby cargo-focused airports in places like Rockford, Illinois and Columbus, Ohio.

"We know how much freight by weight and value comes through O'Hare," said Edip Pektas, MIC Cargo's CEO. "By the numbers, O'Hare is number one in the country by value and with over 213,000 tons (nearly 470 million pounds) of cargo and mail arriving and departing in May alone, it will take a constellation of solutions involving people, processes, infrastructure, and technology to ensure continuity of operations as we try to emerge from the pandemic."

MIC Cargo's internal systems are focused on relentlessly measuring KPI's persistently finding areas of excellence and opportunities for improvement. Truckers arriving at MIC's 90,000 square-foot Patton Avenue facility arrive and depart in an average of 55 minutes.

MIC's ULD bypass system further enhances speed to delivery after cargo arrival, offering ULD pickup two hours after arrival, and loose freight broken down and available within six hours.
