A PLANNING MODEL FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR FREIGHT

Economic and social constraints upon airport expansion mean that planners must examine new means of expanding the existing facilities. To do this, it is necessary to isolate the domestic side of foreign air cargo operations. The authors describe a study of New York Airport to see how much domestic activity is generated by foreign air cargo volumes. The model offers planners a means of estimating the impact of new airport programmes and the impact of new construction on the cargo handling capacity.
