Abstract

Air cargo is the second largest mode of transportation in terms of traffic and value of goods transported. The maritime industry, as measured in ton-kilometers of goods transported, is much larger than the air cargo industry. In 2007, the world maritime industry generated a total of 60.9 trillion Revenue Ton Kilometers (RTK) of traffic compared to 193 billion RTKs of traffic for the air cargo industry (Boeing, 2008). Air cargo plays a vital role in the global logistics supply chain for transporting goods such as medical supplies and legal documents in a fast and reliable manner. Air cargo has been displacing other modes of transportation in almost all regions and for all goods except for very short distances and for very large size cargo.
