Abstract: | This paper examines the depth of air-cargo market penetration being made in the UK by the air-transport industry, following the collapse of I.A.T.A.-constructed fares a nd rates in the wake of de-regulation on the US domestic market in 1978.
It looks at statistical evidence from H.M. Customs and Excise for 1978, 1979 and 1980, and in particular makes a distribution costs analysis by comparing sea and air costs together. In the current economic climate, given today's freight rates and the fact that air-freight is rapidly turning towards bulk unitization with a frequent scheduled delivery service, a reassessment of company distribution costs could be financially beneficial to many exporters traditionally using sea transport. |
