Logistics
Success in today’s fast-paced marketplace often depends on who can deliver their goods most quickly. Companies must have efficient, effective means for receiving the raw materials they need and shipping their products to their customers. Georgia provides an unparalleled logistical infrastructure that not only saves you time and money; it provides you with a solid backbone for competing in an increasingly global marketplace.
To help you efficiently move goods, Georgia has built an incomparable transportation and logistics infrastructure that seamlessly ties air, sea, rail and roads. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s busiest and offers more scheduled flights than any other airport. Businesses can reach 80 percent of the U.S. market within two hours and any major North American city in four hours. International flights reach 45 cities and 30 countries, making the world’s business centers easily accessible. Hartsfield-Jackson is also the world’s leading air cargo center, handling more than 900,000 tons of cargo each year.
Georgia companies have another gateway to the world through the state-of-the-art deepwater ports in Savannah and Brunswick. Operated by the Georgia Ports Authority, they are the fifth largest in the country and serve as the south Atlantic’s premier auto-processing facility. Combined with inland barge operations in Bainbridge and Columbus, these waterways accelerate the pace of commerce.
Back on solid ground, companies can tap into the state’s 4,700-mile rail network that connects to four major interstates. Georgia companies are within a two-day drive of most of the United States via more than 1,200 miles on interstate highways and 20,000 miles of federal and state highways.
Georgia has built unsurpassed logistics and transportation infrastructures to enable companies to not only move their products at the speed of light, but also to reach success quicker than the competition.
