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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
