520 |a This book uses numerous examples to describe the current opportunities and risks of air freight against the backdrop of stagnating transport volumes since the financial crisis in 2008. It shows what impact these developments have had on those involved, in particular shippers, airlines, airports and freight forwarders. The application-oriented presentation also provides an insight into the design of complex supply chains and the areas of tension in which the players in air freight operate. The content History, characteristics and players of air cargo Institutions and associations Means of transport in air freight Handling of an air freight shipment Aviation security Customer approach Regional markets and trade routes Courier, Express and Parcel services Innovations The author Prof. Dr. Joachim G. Schäfer teaches International Transport Management at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Lörrach and as a guest lecturer at universities in China and East Africa.
