U.S. DOMESTIC STUDY

U.S. DOMESTIC STUDY (published in July) has three main sections.

The first section describes the size of the various segments of the U.S. domestic air cargo industry—scheduled freight, express, mail and charter. This quantitative assessment is the result of an annual evaluation of the traffic of the integrated express and freight operators, scheduled pas­senger/cargo carriers and charter/contract cargo airlines. Also included are a revenue analysis of this $33 billion industry, a general discussion of 2007-2008 market circumstances and a review of the shifting market for express services.

The second section offers a qualitative review of the major market par­ticipants, including integrated express companies, a number of com­bin­ation air carriers and freight forwarders, non-integrated all-cargo common carriage providers and two dozen U.S.-based specialist cargo airlines.

The report's final section covers several hot topics that are affecting the U.S. domestic air freight industry. Topics featured this year are: freighter aircraft applications; surface-based competition to air freight; security issues; and the high cost of fuel.
