According to the Porter Study, conducted by Harvard University, Georgia has the fourth largest logistics hub in the United States. Georgia’s manufacturing and logistics industries provide an unparalleled infrastructure that not only saves time and money, it provides a solid backbone for competing in an increasingly global marketplace. Businesses can reach 80 percent of the U.S. market within two hours’ flight time, and any major North American city in four hours’ flight time. 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 goods each year. Georgia’s successful transformation into a supply chain leader certainly gives a new meaning to “Georgia on My Mind” and is an example of successful change built on a solid foundation.
