Introduction and Overview of the International Air Cargo Industry: A Modal Analysis

James Nolan and James Peoples

A chapter in The International Air Cargo Industry, 2022, vol. 9, pp 1-8 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: The continued rise in e-commerce has contributed to recent growth of the air cargo industry. In addition, international demand for low volume-high value products as well as time-sensitive goods continues to enhance demand for air cargo services. This volume consists of 11 chapters exploring whether this transportation sector has positioned itself to successfully take advantage of the economic opportunities associated with changing global demand for goods and demand for timely transportation services. Areas of analysis cover costs and competitiveness, shipper services and air cargo demand, along with international competition and economic development. Employing various empirical techniques and theoretical perspectives, these chapters help the reader to understand the methods by which air cargo companies provide efficient and increasingly affordable services, and also how the use of these services enhances economic growth and development.
