UPS Growth Has Been An Important Key To The Success of The Rockford Airport

Rockford, Illinois- United Parcel Service opened its doors for operation at the Rockford airport in October, 1994. Since then, the shipping giant`s presence in Rockford has been positive for not only itself but also for the airport and the city of Rockford. Kevin Dulian, Employment Supervisor for UPS Rockford said, "I think with UPS being the first major corporation that has been consistently here at the airport, it`s been a win- win situation for the airport and for UPS. I mean, it`s also been a win situation for the community with all the jobs that have been provided." UPS has constantly upgraded their technology to stay state of the art, and the company has made additions over the years to its facility. "The air business at UPS has grown steadily and consequently our air business here in Rockford has grown," said Dulian. "That`s meant more jobs for more people in the community. Also, we`ve expanded ourselves into air cargo and just this year in 2006 we have a brand new building here to help with air cargo."
