When it comes to our brave men and women in the Kentucky Air National Guard we’ve spared no expense. The Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Airlift Wing is based at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport and provides U.S. military and humanitarian operations with a worldwide theater airlift. Inside the wing you’ll find not one, but eight C-130 H model aircraft. Five groups of men and women, made up of 14 squadrons, carry out the unit’s mission by providing administrative and logistical support.

A Cargo Operation That’s Precious to Louisville

Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport was forever changed when, in 1982, United Parcel Service (UPS) began its new overnight-delivery business using SDF as the main hub operation center. Constructing a 350-acre apron for additional aircraft, initially creating jobs for 135 people and who sorted 2,000 packages the very first night.

UPS’s all-points international air express hub, Worldport, lies between SDF’s parallel runways, and connects Louisville to 220 countries and territories. UPS initially invested $1 billion in Worldport, which now includes 5.2 million square feet of modern technology and 155 miles of package sorting conveyor belts, all under one roof. Opening in 2002, Worldport has remained as a committed home base of UPS’s global air network and UPS Airlines, the world’s foremost cargo carrier. Worldport’s air network includes international air hubs in Ontario, Canda; Shanghai, China; Miami, Fla. (to serve Latin America); Koln, Germany; Hong Kong and a newly completed intra-Asia hub in Shenzhen, China.
