TEXAS AIRPORT SYSTEM PLAN. AIR CARGO ANALYSIS AND FORECASTS

The Texas air cargo study was conducted to estimate the present and future (to 1990) demand for air cargo transportation in Texas as an essential element of the Texas Airport System Plan. The report provides estimates of present air cargo movements; assesses the impact of air cargo technology as it may affect present freight distribution patterns for products Texans produce or consume; provides forecasts for anticipated air cargo movements; relates air cargo demand to aircraft operations; and supports policy formulation for promotion of air cargo service for Texans.
