The urgency of sustainability in aviation has led to a focus on operational activities, especially in the global supply chain of cargo airlines. This study introduces a Decision Support System (DSS) to improve Partner Relationship Management. The DSS helpspartners work toward sustainability...

The article proposes an approach for modeling and solving the air cargo transportation, loading, and phase-based maintenance scheduling problems in an integrated fashion. It describes the demand channel routing strategy to meet the earliest pickup and delivery requirements in emergency...

Air cargo is a byproduct of combination carriers and has been the forgotten child in the aviation supply chain until COVID-19 and the subsequent boom in e-commerce. Record high yields and profit margins have not just resulted in air cargo being taken more seriously but have also created an...

Air Cargo plays a key role under the global supply chain crisis brought about by COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze empirically the transport patterns and correlations of key commodities of cold chain in air cargo. We analyzed air cargo O-D data by weight for key commodities including...

Background: The air cargo logistics industry has been deemed reluctant to adopt new technologies for their business operations. So, this study aims to examine the adoption of technological innovations in the air cargo logistics industry in South Africa. The specific objective is to emphasise the...

We introduce a novel multimodal (ground and air transportation) network design model with transshipments for the transport of express cargo with heterogeneous service classes (i.e., next morning delivery, and next day delivery). We formulate this problem using a novel path-based mixed-integer...

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyse the role of the main 50 US cargo airports and 25 air cargo airlines in the logistics of e-commerce companies from 2000 to 2020, to highlight the importance of airports in the logistics and e-commerce industries. Methods: A review of the...

For many years, cargo traffic was marred by inefficiency, slow work systems, extensive paperwork and inaccuracies in the supply chain and transportation to the final destination. Processes within the chain itself entailed slow work, which resulted in large deviations in terms of transport and...

I analyze pricing behavior before and after the detection of an air cargo cartel using a novel, hand- collected dataset. I find that prices did not decline after the cartel’s detection. Additionally, pricing patterns are consistent with post-cartel tacit collusion. My findings suggest that...

Background: The main goal of this case study is to analyze the air traffic, air cargo, and the safety-hygiene air corridor between UK and Spain, in airports managed by MAG Group (UK) and AENA Group (Spain). Methods: To review the specific paradigm of research which discusses, investigates, and...
