The logistics of air cargo co-mingling at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport

Abstract

This paper discusses the current efforts to bring further deregulation to international air cargo operations. This is done in the context of a special set of operations, known as co-mingling, which is allowed at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Co-mingling involves air cargo being transferred to another airplane that may or may not be in the initiating carrier's fleet. After the transfer is completed the cargo proceeds based on the second plane's pre-determined routing. This paper sets co-mingling in context with co-terminalization and cabotage operations by outlining the limitations of what the United States Department of Transportation actually mandated. While the operations are unique to the State of Alaska they do set a precedent for unilateral reform of international air cargo operations on the part of the US government. An economic appraisal of co-mingling operations is provided and is shown to be a source of efficiency gains for the US air cargo market.
