The Cargo Airline Association (CAA), the leading advocacy organization for the air cargo industry, is excited to announce that Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) has joined its ranks as an Airport Associate Member. This strategic partnership aligns with PHL’s commitment to expanding and modernizing its air cargo capacity.
