The Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma dedicated a 20,00-square-foot air cargo facility at the Joplin Airport last Friday.

The facility, fully owned by the Wyandotte Tribal Corporation, will provide ground and air transportation of cargo in and out of the airport. The tribe partnered with an aviation services company and landed two major contracts, including one to provide ground handling services for the U.S. Air Force in Great Britain.

The tribe's company is a certified 8(a) disadvantaged business.
