The air transport industry includes those activities
that are directly dependent on transporting people
and goods by air
second fastest method of transport, after space travel
Types of passengers
- Transit Passenger-those arriving and departing at an
airport on the same aircraft
- Interlining Passenger -passengers, who change from
one aircraft to another at the airport


Types of Cargo:
- Special Handling -This type of cargo must be properly
packed with materials that protect, particularly with a
cushioning material that keeps goods protected.
- Perishable Goods - Goods that when not kept under
certain conditions are affected in a way that compromises
their essential qualities .
- Personal Belongings - include a packing list in order to be
received as cargo.


It is the fastest way to ship or deliver most or types
of cargo over long distance.
Transport person or group of persons from one
place to another.
It plays a vital role in the rapid delivery of medical
supplies and organs for transplantation worldwide
Air services play an essential role in humanitarian
assistance to countries facing natural disasters,
famine and war

Advantages:

Fastest means of Transport
Suitability
Vital during emergencies
Efficient service

Disadvantages:

Huge investment
Limited carrying capacity
Heavy maintenance cost
High overhead cost

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is an
organization working under the Ministry of Civil
Aviation\ that manages all the airports in India.
The AAI manages and operates 126 airports
including 16 international airports 89 domestic
airports and 26 civil enclaves.
The corporate headquarters(CHQ) are at Rajiv
Gandhi Bhawan, Safdarjung Airport, New Delhi

Transhipment or transhipment isthe shipment of goods or cont
ainers to an intermediate destination, then to yet another
destination.
One possible reason is to change the means of transport during
the journey (for example from ship transport to road transport),
known as transloading.
Transhipment usually takes place in transport hubs. Much
international transhipment also takes place in
designated customs areas, thus avoiding the need for customs
checks or duties, otherwise a major hindrance for efficient
transport.
An item handled (from the shipper's point of view) as a single
movement is not generally considered transshipped even if it
may in reality change from one transport to another at several
points
Transhipment is normally fully legitimate and an everyday part
of the world's trade.
However, it can also be a method used to disguise intent, as is
the case with illegal logging, smuggling, or grey market goods.
The exact definition of transshipment may differ between ports,
mostly depending on the inclusion of inland water transport
(barges operating on canals and rivers to the hinterland
The goods that are to be shipped can be
consolidated into large transport lots in order
to reduce unit transport costs and the unit
costs of the shipping department at the
supply point and of the receiving department
at the receiving point. This process is called
consolidation .
But consideration must also be given to the
fact that disrupting the flow of goods can
generate higher costs for warehousing,
handling and order processing
The direct flow of goods between supplier and
receiving points ideally corresponds to the
logistics model of flow orientation and can be
characterized as the primal strategy of logistics.
Among other things, it enables just-in-time
strategies to be developed.

Economies of scale in the indirect flow of goods
The objective of indirect flow of goods is to
achieve economies of scale leading up to the
point of separation or following the point of
separation.



There are three forms of consolidation in the indirect
flow of goods:

Inventory consolidation
Inventory consolidation is a time-based form of
consolidation in which deliveries are delayed until a
certain transport lot is reached.
Inventory consolidation is also used when deliveries
are accumulated at a specific receiving point and are
performed at a predetermined point in time.
In vehicle-consolidation costs, costs are generated by
the construction and operation of the transshipment
warehouse
Vehicle consolidation

Vehicle consolidation is a spatial form of
consolidation. During a run, a vehicle collects
goods at several supply points or delivers
them to several receiving points.
In addition to the costs generated by the
time-based form of consolidation, costs are
also generated by the collection or delivery
run. But these costs can be minimized with
the help of efficient route planning .



Distribution-warehouse consolidation

Distribution-warehouse or transit-terminal
consolidation is also a form of spatial
consolidation.
In the distribution warehouse, goods
received from the supply points are sorted,
loaded onto other vehicles and delivered to
receiving points. This enables the number of
links between supply and receiving points to
be reduced.

Packaging is a coordinated system of preparing
goods for transport, warehousing, sale, and end use.

Packaging mainly protects the goods from damage
and spoilage.

The Indian packaging industry was valued at Rs.
700 billion (US$ 14 billion) in 2007.

Growing at the rate of 14-15% annually.

Indian packaging industry is highly fragmented and
unorganised, dominated by small players.
The major user industries such as retail industry
including food and beverages, pharma and auto
components industries are expected to play a major catalyst
role in driving the packaging industry growth.

Indian packaging industry is expected to reach Rs. 3,000
billion (US$ 60 billion) by 2014 from the current US$14
billion.
Freight transport is the physical process of transporting commodities
and merchandise goods and cargo.
Cargo airlines (or airfreight carriers, and derivatives of these names)
are airlines dedicated to the transport of cargo. Some cargo airlines
are divisions or subsidiaries of larger passenger airlines.

Logistics
Air transport is a vital component of many international
logistics networks, essential to managing and controlling the
flow of goods, energy, information and other resources like
products, services, and people, from the source of production to
the marketplace.
It is difficult or nearly impossible to accomplish any international trading,
global export/import processes, international repositioning of raw
materials/products and manufacturing without a professional logistical
support.
Aircraft used
Larger cargo airlines tend to use new or recently built aircraft to carry their
freight, but many use older aircraft, like the Boeing 707, Boeing 727,
Douglas DC-8, DC-10, MD-11, Boeing 747, and the Ilyushin Il-76.
Examples of the 60-year-old Douglas DC-3 are still flying around the world
carrying cargo (as well as passengers)


In the past, some cargo airlines would carry a few passengers
from time to time on flights,[citation needed] and UPS Airlines
once unsuccessfully tried a passenger charter airline division.
