Abstract: The ability of a given cargo aircraft and cargo-handling system combination to perform a specified task can be influenced by a large number of factors. This paper identifies the more important of these factors and presents a quantitative criterion for measuring the relative efficiency of combined air-cargo systems of this type. Although developed for the case of only two air-freight terminals, this criterion can be useful for situations involving many terminals.
