What is an “intelligent cargo airline?”
“An intelligent cargo airline is one that operates independently
from the passenger business; develops its dedicated book of rules
and procedures, and its own domain of knowledge, catering to its special
set of needs and to its unique customer base.”
With the air cargo business now touching US$60 billion globally, and
more freight moving on to “main deck” freighter aircraft,
the “intelligent cargo airline” is here to provide a bespoke
offering to serve this trade. |

Air cargo is a $60 billion plus
industry. During the next 20 years, cargo traffic is expected to more
than triple, out-pacing passenger traffic and offering airlines even
more opportunities to generate revenue. |
| |
|
|
While air cargo currently accounts for 13% of
total air transport revenues ($560 billion in 2010 according to IATA),
some passenger airlines are earning more than 30% of their revenue
from air cargo. |
| |
|
|
As air cargo grows, more and more freight will
move on to the main decks of dedicated freighter aircraft. The current
50/50 split between the “dedicated freighter offering”
and the “passenger belly offering” is expected to change
dramatically over the next few years, with more cargo moving on to
freighter main decks. |
| |
|
|
All of this will mean that air cargo transportation
will rapidly evolve into a “dedicated business”, requiring
a whole new science and a different set of rules to be built around
it. Traditional suppliers to the air cargo business will need to re-define
their business offerings and create new performance standards for
this “stand alone” business. |

This website is intended to create,
develop and refine the business intelligence that will be needed to
support the science of independent air cargo operations. Every component
of this business will be identified and studied in the greatest detail,
and performance standards and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
created as a result. We intend to develop and incorporate Six Sigma
standards into each of these components.
Most importantly, we hope to leverage Information Technology to integrate
the entire air cargo supply chain into a seamless offering, where
every customer can expect “one stop shopping” within well-defined
service level parameters. |
