Download or read book Moving Boxes by Air written by Peter S. Morrell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air cargo is a key element of the global supply chain. It allows outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries and links production in both multinational and smaller enterprises. It has also been the most important driver of certain export industries in countries such as South Africa, Kenya and Chile. As a component of the air transport industry, air cargo makes the crucial difference between profit and loss on many long-haul routes. This second edition of Moving Boxes by Air offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the business and practices of air cargo, with chapters dedicated to key issues such as current trends, market characteristics, regulation, airport terminal operations, pricing and revenues, and environmental impacts. The book illustrates the recent emphasis on mergers at the expense of alliances, which have not had the impact that they had on passenger operations. The section on security has been expanded to assess in more depth the threats to aircraft from terrorists, particularly in the lower cargo and passenger baggage compartments. Surcharges are examined and the book considers whether all airlines will follow the lead of some to do away with both fuel and security surcharges. The book concludes with a summary of the latest industry forecasts. Fully updated throughout, this edition is the definitive guide to air cargo for professionals within both the aviation and freight industries.

Download or read book The Feasibilty of Large All cargo Aircraft Systems written by Raymond A. Ausrotas and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Air cargo has enjoyed uninterrupted growth since the coming of the jet age. World scheduled air freight, in terms of revenue to the carriers and overall cargo carried, has doubled and doubled again every decade during this period. All forecasts indicate 5-7% annual rates for the next twenty years. For example, the 1995 Boeing forecast calls for 6.7% annual growth, to reach some 350 billion RTKs (Revenue Ton Kilometers) by 2014. As impressive as this growth has been it still represents less than 1% of the world's international freight industry by volume, although about 30% by value. Overall world trade will continue to grow with the implementation of various treaties that will facilitate this growth, i.e., General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). From 1970 to 1994, the all-cargo jet fleet has increased from fewer than 100 aircraft to more than 1000 in 1994. Of these, some 750 are old generation aircraft which will need replacement in the near future. To accommodate the expected growth, Boeing forecasts a need for a total of 2,100 freighters, of which 800 are expected to be small (payload of less than 30 tons), 500 to be medium (30-50 tons payload), and 800 to be large jet aircraft (greater than 50 ton payload). Currently some 60% of world air cargo capacity is offered by passenger aircraft; by 2014 it is expected to remain about the same (400 available ton-kilometers). If the old generation aircraft are replaced in this period, as would be expected, these would be largely in the small/medium size categories. Currently these constitute 800 aircraft, so that the new aircraft that will be ordered will be mostly in the large size categories. Thus Boeing expects that some 100 large size freighters will be needed over the next twenty years. How many of these could be of the dedicated large all-cargo freighter category, rather than freighter versions of new technology passenger aircraft, is the great unknown. The forecasts by Boeing, as well as most other sources, link air cargo growth to world GDP growth and average scheduled air freight yield. They do not assume shifts in demand due to new and innovative practices by the air cargo industry. "Time-sensitive" as well as "value-sensitive" goods are prime candidates for fast and reliable air cargo shipments. Time-sensitive goods consist of both perishable goods and emergency shipments. Perishable goods are of two kinds: economic perishables and physical perishables. Economic perishables have a finite time during which they are valuable, such as Christmas toys or seasonal garments. For example, time-based competition has spawned "air bridges"--Dedicated air freighter programs designed to reduce plant-to-plant shipment times, such as the Limited's use of freighters between its Hong Kong garment suppliers and its Columbus, Ohio distribution center. Although garments are low value commodities on a per pound basis, rapidly changing consumer tastes make them perishable commodities and thus targets for air freight rather than ocean shipping. Physical perishables include such items as seafood or flowers. The prime example of latent demand in the air cargo industry is the fresh cut flower business. A business that began in 1970, the volume from South America to the United States now exceeds 150,000 tones of flowers per year. Value-sensitive goods are those goods which, when the total logistics costs are considered rather than just the transportation costs, allow the shipper to use a premium shipment service. For these goods savings on inventory carrying costs are often large enough to offset faster transportation premiums. For example, another new development indicating the need or possibility of faster and more reliable transportation services is the concept of Global Transparks. The world's first network of three Global Transparks will consist of one in North Carolina, one in Germany and one in Thailand. The Transparks are airport-based dedicated industrial estates which manufacture components and assemble finished products in three different continents. For example, working on the Just-in-Time principle, raw materials would be flown in to the Transpark on the morning of work and used during the daytime. Because of differences in time zones, components manufactured in Thailand can be shipped overnight to Germany, where they can be utilized the next working day. The Transparks will be linked by similar "air bridges" (dedicated high-frequency air freighter services), and will have road, and/or potential sea and rail links. Likely industries for global Transpark networks include car manufacturers, as well as any high technology industries with high-value components that can take advantage of the logistics savings inherent in such a service. Aside from such novel developments as Global Transparks, to raise its percentage of overall tonnage carried, the air cargo industry must make air freight more attractive to shippers. This can be done by improving service or reducing the cost of transport. Fast delivery is the service quality which differentiates air freight today. Improving service by reducing the perceived complexity of shipping by air and reducing the total time in transit by improving on pickup and delivery times on the ground portion is within the capabilities of the industry now, but it would make air cargo only somewhat more attractive Reducing the cost of service, however, could cause a quantum jump in the shipments by air. To achieve such a substantial reduction in cost will require an integrated network of large all-cargo aircraft and trucks to provide door to door transportation around the globe. Cargo aircraft capable of handling intermodal truck size containers (twenty or forty foot equivalent units: TEUs or FEUs) containing processed or manufactured goods will be a necessary part of such a large all-cargo aircraft system (LACAS).
Download or read book Air Cargo Management written by Michael Sales and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of a popular introductory guide to the function and future of the air cargo supply chain, an industry which responded with remarkable efficiency when faced with the challenges and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book reviews the role and strategy of air cargo and its contribution to world trade and international economies. This industry, which accounts for more than 35% of the world’s trade in value, will be even more vital in the coming years. Building on the success of previous editions, Air Cargo Management now puts the emphasis on basic functionality, economics and historical precedents, but most of all it focuses on how traditional legacy methods are being replaced by the adoption of technologies and cloud-based applications – new methods which are changing and streamlining the entire industry. The book reviews the supply chain process and the technology applications as well as the effects of the pandemic and the fundamental lack of cargo capacity hitherto supplied by passenger aircraft. It also explores the increased use of freighter aircraft and the need for faster and more efficient processing, particularly on the ground and in road transport. The third edition features new content on: Security and crime, including pharmaceutical counterfeiting and fraud The role of airports and road feeder services Typical air cargo products, including the heavy-lift sector Regulations and treaties Aircraft in use, historically and currently New technologies The book is illustrated with statistical evidence, examples and photographs and is enriched with comments from industry leaders and experienced professionals. The style and breadth of content are designed to be easily readable and should be of practical interest to anyone either currently working in the logistics, supply chain or transport industries, or contemplating a career in this sector.
Download or read book International Air Transportation written by Daniel Zberg and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 96.0, , course: International Logistics, language: English, abstract: Air transportation is a key factor in long-term economic development, growth, and overall success. Like other forms of transportation, air travel simply provides a link between two or more different locations; though, air travel separates itself by offering a very quick alternative to travel vast distances. The unique nature of air transport has proved its significance in developed nations and the increased connectivity has recently demonstrated an even greater impact for developing economies. There are, however, substantial challenges in producing respectable air transport infrastructure in developing nations. In fact, there are also many difficulties involving air travel that affect developed nations as well. Infrastructure, costs, regulation, and sustainability are some of the more noteworthy concerns of international air transportation. Understanding the problem is the first step to creating a solution and, with tangible collaborative efforts, more efficient air transportation networks can begin to benefit the international community.
Download or read book Critical Issues in Air Transport Economics and Business written by Rosário Macário and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers material for strategic thinking featuring contributions from key figures in Europe, the US and Asia. The focus of the book expands from economic to legal issues, bankruptcy and safety and security. The carefully selected papers offer a thorough and structured analysis of major current developments in the air transport industry. Fully up to date, topics covered include competitive strength, capacity utilisation and risk. The most likely future scenarios are more or less known. Only, the timeframe remains uncertain. The speed at which the various market players in the air transport chain will implement their strategies remains the key question. This depends on a whole range of exogenous and endogenous variables, as this book aspires to demonstrate. As both an overview of the current issues affecting the industry and as a cohesive set of strategic documents, therefore, this collection will prove invaluable for policy makers and researchers alike.
