This study presents a paradigm shift in the air cargo market based on Korea and Incheon Airport’s empirical data. The air cargo market has traditionally handled expensive items and has been a supplier-oriented market. There has been little room for individual customers in this market. However, “value” gradually replaces “price” in this market. The value depending on consumer preferences significantly impact air cargo demand. Consequently, items transported by air cargo are changing, and airlines and other market participants are revising operation policy. Economic growth may be losing its dominant power as the main growth engine in the air cargo market. This study identifies the weakened link between air cargo increase and economic growth based on the Granger causality test. COVID-19 calls for a deeper understanding of the paradigm shift in the market for sustainable air transport because COVID-19 will further stimulate it. In this regard, the air cargo business, which maintains a stable trend even during COVID-19, is seen as a new opportunity for the aviation industry. Since sustainable air transport requires an accurate understanding of the paradigm shift in the air cargo market, this study enhances our knowledge of the paradigm shift and provides significant implications for sustainable air transport.

The article shows the strategic role of cargo air transport in the economies of the world, related to the maintenance of foreign trade, urgent delivery of goods, their transportation over long distances, and so on. The determining factors of the development of cargo air transport in the global economy are systematized: organizational innovations, information technologies, new forms of cooperation of air carriers and logistics solutions. The contribution of air transport to the formation of cargo turnover in Ukraine is determined. The opposite dynamics of volumes of cargo transportation by air and other types of transport is revealed. The contradiction between the low share of air cargo traffic and their strong absolute and structural growth is quantitatively shown. Air freight is defined by a market of oligopolistic competition due to a limited number of economic entities, the dominance of one large and several medium-sized players, the presence of barriers to entry, which are financial-investment and technical-technological nature. The attractiveness of the air freight market for investments is shown given the predominant positivity of financial results and the growing share of profitable enterprises. The institutional forms of organization of cargo air carriers (classic, combined, hybrid) are generalized, their advantages and disadvantages are defined. The principles of functioning of transport chains and realization of multimodal transportations on the basis of cargo air transport are substantiated. The main information systems of booking and management of air cargo transportation, distribution, pricing, calculations, tracking of luggage by buyers and sellers are characterized. The requirements of the International Air Transport Association for the use of innovative e-freight technologies in aviation are summarized, recommendations for joining the subjects of the domestic air cargo market in terms of electronic document management and simplification of customs procedures are developed. The improvement of economic mechanisms of development of cargo air transport in Ukraine on the basis of special economic zones of port type is offered.

Abstract. Air transport has unique characteristics that are essential for the transport of perishable products. However, temperature variations during air transport operations may be detrimental to temperature-sensitive products such as fresh horticultural crops, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and others. The literature on the subject remains scarce. In-flight temperatures were monitored during six international shipments using an aircraft container loaded with simulated perishable products. Results highlighted the overriding impact of solar radiation on temperature distribution within aircraft containers during ramp transfers. Extended ramp transfer durations were observed, and for three shipments the total time, outside, on the tarmac exceeded 11 h, resulting in an average product temperature increase of as much as 13°C. In-flight conditions had a smaller impact on the temperature distribution within the load of products. Tests indicated that the core region of the load was exposed to the smallest rate of heat transfer, and the top layer was exposed to the largest rate of heat transfer. Cold room storage of a fully loaded aircraft container proved to be a very inefficient cooling method. Keywords: Aircraft container, Horticultural products, In-flight, Perishables, Ramp, Tarmac.

Air cargo sector is a developing and dynamic field, where innovation can take place in a number of forms – in the sense of technology as well as processes and business model alterations. The forefront of innovation in the sector lies ‘at the top’, i.e. around international airfreight hubs. In contrast, this study is aimed at mapping out the situation on the example of two regional airport hinterlands in Eastern Europe: Tallinn (Estonia) and Katowice (Poland), to identify the level and types of innovation present in air cargo service providing companies in these regions. The hypothesis of this study is that the level of innovation in the air cargo sector in the regions in question is both benefiting the existing cargo customers and sufficiently supporting the entrepreneurship development by attracting new customers to locate in the area and utilise air transport for their export despite the regions not being airfreight hubs in international sense. A survey was designed and conducted involving altogether 32 companies in the air cargo sector in Estonia and Poland and was carried out in the beginning of 2013. Additional information was obtained by expert interviews with selected participants in the framework of Baltic Air Cargo Network (BACN). The perceived level of innovation in both regions is relatively high in most types of innovation. Various improvements are mostly resulting in increased service quality and differentiation by quality rather than service price. Selected statistically, significant differences in data of two countries allow to understand two similar environments better. The outlooks of the sector in the regions are cautiously optimistic and the developments affect the existing exporters as well as create a suitable environment to attract new exporters and enable entrepreneurship growth in the future. It is interesting and valuable to air cargo stakeholders and authorities that air cargo service industry can be innovative and has growth potential even in regions with the modest number of direct flight destinations. Innovation comes to life via flexibility in transport services, such as the growth and systematic development of Road-Feeder Services (RFS), which allows remote regions to be better connected in the international networks.

The development of the European economy requires an efficient transport system. The transportation of goods and freight today is mainly done by surface transport, i.e. road and railways. Air cargo within Europe is in general restricted to mail and parcels. This paper describes the current cargo transport system in Europe and compares road, rail and air transport with respect to energy consumption, land resources required, flexibility and cost of transportation. Based on this comparison, an innovative air cargo transport system will be developed. Three main elements are required for the new system: a specific intermodal cargo airport in every major industrial region of Europe, the design of a new container system and the design of a dedicated large cargo aircraft. A conceptual design for a large cargo aircraft will be shown which can meet the technical and operational requirements arising from the new air transport system.
