Abstract: Notwithstanding the fact that the air cargo business is generally a secondary one to the passenger business for combination airlines, it can have an important role to play in their profitability. However, growing challenges are threatening the market positions of the combination airlines. Improving their market positioning depends, amongst other factors, on appropriate business models. Yet, the literature on the air cargo business models of combination airlines is scarce. This paper aims to contribute to closing this gap.
