- 1. 0 INTRODUCTION RELIABILITY & ACCESSIBILTY OF AIR CARGO NAME – JAYVARDHAN MISHRA(PGDAO)
- 2. Title: Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo – Air cargo is a fast and efficient means of transport for goods, especially for high-value, time-sensitive, and perishable products. – Air cargo accounts for more than 35% of global trade by value but less than 1% of world trade by volume. – This presentation will explore the benefits and challenges of air cargo in terms of reliability and accessibility, as well as some best practices and recommendations for improving air cargo performance. 1
- 3. • Reliability of Air Cargo – Reliability is the ability to deliver goods on time and in good condition, without damage or loss – Reliability is crucial for customer satisfaction, supply chain efficiency, and competitive advantage – Air cargo is highly reliable as airlines tend to adhere to strict schedules with dependable arrival and departure times – Even a missed flight would not cause much delay as most air cargo services run on daily schedules, often with hourly departures – Air cargo also has secure handling measures in place to prevent interference or theft of cargo 2
- 4. • Accessibility of Air Cargo – Accessibility is the ability to reach different destinations and customers, regardless of geographic or physical barriers – Accessibility is essential for expanding market opportunities, diversifying supply sources, and reducing transportation costs – Air cargo has high accessibility as it can reach almost any location in the world within a short time span 3
- 5. • Benefits of Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo • Shippers: They can reduce inventory costs, improve cash flow, and meet customer expectations by using air cargo • Consignees: They can receive goods faster, fresher, and safer by using air cargo • Freight forwarders: They can offer more options, flexibility, and solutions to their customers by using air cargo • Airlines: They can generate more revenue, optimize capacity utilization, and enhance customer loyalty by using air cargo • Governments: They can boost trade, economic growth, and social development by using air cargo • 4
- 6. • Challenges of Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo • Demand fluctuations: The demand for air cargo may vary depending on seasonality, events, crises, or trends that may affect the supply and demand balance • Capacity constraints: The capacity of air cargo may be limited by factors such as aircraft availability, airport infrastructure, slot allocation, or regulatory restrictions • Operational disruptions: The operations of air cargo may be disrupted by factors such as weather conditions, congestion, delays, accidents, or security incidents that may affect the safety and efficiency of air cargo services • Environmental impacts: The environmental impacts of air cargo may be negative due to factors such as fuel consumption, emissions, noise, or waste that may affect the sustainability and social responsibility of air cargo services 5
- 7. • Best Practices for Improving Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo • Master Operating Plan (MOP): The MOP is a standard description of the end-to-end process for transporting cargo by air, which provides a common framework and language for all parties involved in air cargo • Cargo iQ: Cargo iQ is a quality management system that measures and improves the performance of air cargo services, based on key performance indicators and milestones • e-Air Waybill (e-AWB): The e-AWB is a digital version of the paper air waybill, which eliminates the need for printing and exchanging documents, and enables faster and more accurate data transmission • One Record: One Record is a data-sharing platform that allows all parties in the supply chain to access and exchange information about cargo shipments in a secure and standardized way 6
- 8. • Recommendations for Enhancing Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo • Digitalization: Digitalization is the use of digital technologies and data to transform and optimize the processes and services of air cargo, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, or internet of things • Innovation: Innovation is the development and implementation of new ideas and solutions to address the challenges and opportunities of air cargo, such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or biometrics • Collaboration: Collaboration is the establishment and maintenance of partnerships and alliances among different parties in the supply chain to share resources, information, and best practices for air cargo • Diversification: Diversification is the expansion and adaptation of the products and markets of air cargo to meet the changing needs and preferences of customers, such as e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, or perishables 7
- 9. • Case Studies of Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo – Air cargo has supported the development and innovation of various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, automotive, and aerospace, by transporting high- value, time-sensitive, or temperature- controlled products. – Air cargo has contributed to the humanitarian and social causes, such as disaster relief, food security, wildlife conservation, and cultural preservation, by transporting aid materials, food items, animals, and artifacts. 8
- 10. • Solutions and Strategies for Reliability and Accessibility of Air Cargo – Air cargo can invest in new technologies and innovations, such as drones, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and biometrics, to enhance its operational efficiency, security, and customer experience. – Air cargo can adopt more sustainable and responsible practices, such as reducing its carbon footprint, optimizing its fuel consumption, minimizing its waste generation, and supporting social causes, to contribute to the global goals of environmental protection and social development. 9
- 11. • Conclusion – Air cargo is a vital mode of transport for global trade and commerce, offering fast and efficient delivery of goods across the world. – Air cargo provides high reliability and accessibility for customers and businesses, ensuring predictable and consistent delivery times, connecting to new markets and suppliers, supporting innovation and competitiveness, and contributing to social and economic development. 10
