The cars on the other hand I'm not sure about. Most likely they can already be handled at the existing cargo ramp. If not they can certainly be loaded onto trucks and driven to CTA from other Airports.
Apparently the city thinks larger jets will show up. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 777 in AUS.
