AN APPROACH TO LEVEL OF SERVICE DESIGN OF AIR FREIGHT TERMINALS FOR SMALL EXPRESS PARCELS

A framework is presented for determining design standards for air freight terminals for small express parcel operations. A theory is developed based on the well known characteristics of traffic flow and this is tested against actual flow characteristics at a small parcels terminal. Using a level of service approach, the authors derive design standards for such facilities.
