Aviation Logistics

Aviation Logistics looks at the function of the air cargo business and its role in global supply chains and logistics. As global economies are constantly evolving, the supply chain business with its transport partners must be proactive for the future. Technology and its resulting efficiency and transparency are therefore a central part of this book. Aviation Logistics examines how carriers are coming up with new methods and technologies to improve ground handling and road transport, traceability systems and barcoding, security and screening, and safe delivery of perishable items (such as in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors). Endorsed by The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA), Aviation Logistics is supplemented with case studies and contributions from a team of experts including Oliver Evans and Stan Wraight, both industry experts.Chapter - 01: Air Cargo- Trying Harder; Chapter - 02: The world of air cargo; Chapter - 03: Air Cargo History; Chapter - 04: Airport Connections; Chapter - 05: Cargo Handling Agents; Chapter - 06: Road Feeder Service; Chapter - 07: Freight Forwarder; Chapter - 08: Cool Chain Logistics; Chapter - 09: The Express Sector; Chapter - 10: Special Cargos; Chapter - 11: Cargo Security; Chapter - 12: Environment; Chapter - 13: Innovation Chapter - 14: Views on the Future Chapter - 15: The Law: Organizations and Regulations Governing International Aviation Chapter - 16: Glossary
