| Publisher Description: Aviation Logistics explores the air cargo business and its role in global supply chains and logistics. It examines the different product sectors using air freight and how carriers are responding to market demands. The ongoing evolution of global economies requires the supply chain business and its transport partners to be proactive. This book shows how aviation operators must work effectively with the wider logistics industry in order to ensure fast and efficient facilitation. This book looks closely at the use of technology and the importance of efficiency and transparency within the aviation industry. It also examines air carrier innovations such as new methods and technologies to improve ground handling and road transport, traceability systems and barcoding, security and screening, and the safe delivery of perishable items. Endorsed by The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA), Aviation Logistics is supplemented with case studies and contributions from a team of industry experts, including Oliver Evans, Head of Global Business Development for Matternet Inc. and former Chief Cargo Officer for Swiss International Air Lines, and Stan Wraight, independent advisor to the airport and airline industry. |
