AEROS DELIVERS WHERE PLANES AND SHIPS CAN’T—RIGHT INTO THE OPPORTUNITY ZONE

Making Free Trade Zones and Inland Ports Work Smarter

Even when tariffs can’t be avoided, they can be delayed, reduced, or strategically managed. That’s the power of Free Trade Zones (FTZs)—and with Aeros, that power is now airborne.

FTZs offer an underused advantage: they allow companies to defer duties, streamline customs, and avoid congestion at seaports. But most logistics systems aren’t built to access these zones efficiently—especially those located inland.

Aeros’ electric Variable Buoyancy Airship (eVBA) changes that. It bypasses traditional bottlenecks and delivers directly into FTZs, bonded warehouses, and inland logistics hubs, turning remote or underutilized locations into high-functioning trade gateways.

The impact?

✔️ Tariff deferral = improved cash flow
✔️ Inland entry = less congestion, fewer delays
✔️ Lower overhead = better operating margins for brands and retailers

Active FTZs in the U.S.

  • FTZ #202 – Los Angeles, CA
  • FTZ #84 – Houston, TX
  • FTZ #62 – Brownsville, TX (ideal for nearshoring from Mexico)
  • FTZ #49 – Newark, NJ / New York
  • FTZ #61 – San Juan, PR (gateway to Caribbean and Latin America)
  • FTZ #281 – Miami-Dade County, FL
  • FTZ #134 – Chattanooga, TN
  • FTZ #9 – Honolulu, HI (strategic for Pacific flows)

More than 250 FTZs are active nationwide—many underutilized due to rigid supply chains. With eVBA, these zones can finally be accessed directly and cost-effectively.

With zero emissions and a lower operating cost than traditional air freight, the eVBA isn’t just another shipping method— It’s the liberation of trapped trade capacity—and a business model built for where global commerce is going next.

Aeros is a global leader in designing, FAA certifying, manufacturing, and delivering advanced airships and aerostats worldwide. For over a century, airships have faced a fundamental challenge—losing stability as cargo is unloaded. Competitors have failed to solve this. Aeros has not only solved it—we’ve patented it. Like a submarine adjusting depth, our aircraft control buoyancy in real-time, enabling unrestricted logistics from transcontinental freight to last-mile delivery—without ground infrastructure. To learn more, visit www.Aeroscraft.com
