Funding air cargo facilities: Getting the best value for money

Daniel B. Muscatello and Don Arthur

Journal of Airport Management, 2017, vol. 11, issue 1, 14-26

Abstract: One of the most difficult challenges facing airports today is the allocation of financial resources across a variety of competing business segments, which are often difficult to prioritise. Since 1990, airports have become increasingly aware of the potential that air cargo offers for both job generation and revenue enhancement, and they have therefore increased their focus on this component of their operations. Nevertheless, the cargo segment of the industry remains below the executive management radar at most airports. The following narrative is split into two primary sections that hopefully shed some light on both issues and options. The first section discusses some of the primary planning considerations and development trends, and the second explores the various methods of financing that can be and have been applied in public and private initiatives.
