The vision for Rickenbacker is to develop a multi-modal regional gateway port designed to accommodate multiple 21st century international hubs with adjacent manufacturing facilities and direct air, rail, and motor carrier intermodal capabilities.

Rickenbacker's superior location, services, resources and expertise offer unequalled cost-effectiveness for moving goods. Designed to meet the aviation needs of businesses of all types, Rickenbacker has ample room for aircraft, buildings, and distribution activities, with a centralized location offering access to domestic and international markets. A nearby intermodal ramp and advanced network of highway and rail systems, together with our Foreign-Trade Zone and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office, ensures the fast, efficient movement of goods anywhere in the world.

The environment is e-commerce friendly. Numerous dot-coms and e-tailers at Rickenbacker are fulfilling Internet orders and sourcing goods from around the world. Bits, bytes and boxes easily move through the electronic logistics and data communications channels in place at Rickenbacker.

Rickenbacker is the center of a 15,000-acre (6,070 hectare), high-speed logistics environment that exceeds the current and growing needs of distribution-oriented companies.
