Airline Industry Students will investigate the airline industry as it relates to logistics and supply chain management.

Chart the history and development of the airline industry as it relates to logistics and supply chain management. December 17, 1903 Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (Outer Banks) Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane Altitude of 20 feet Distance of 120 feet Duration of 12 seconds Wilbur Wright piloted the record flight that day Distance of 852 feet Duration of 59 seconds

History Continued 1908: U.S. Postal Service began investigating the use of airplanes to deliver mail 1910: shipment of silk from Dayton, OH to Columbus, OH (believed to be the first freight shipment by air) 1927: First all-cargo airlines established (all-cargo airlines started after WWI) 1953: UPS starts offering air service (originally started in 1929, but ended same year due to Great Depression) 1971: FedEx founded

Differentiate between types of carriers, including freight carriers, combination carriers, and integrators. Freight Carriers (aka: All-Cargo Airlines) Airlines that carry only freight Cargolux, FedEx, UPS, Atlas Air Worldwide Integrators Air cargo companies that have the ability to provide door-to-door service FedEx, UPS Combination Carriers Airlines that carry both passengers and freight Alaska Airlines, KLM, Air China, Lufthansa, Emirates http://air-cargo-how-it-works.blogspot.com/p/start-page.html

Freight Carriers (All-Cargo) Airlines that operate only freight aircraft with no scheduled passenger service Aircraft may be converted passenger aircraft or new freight aircraft Sample of All-Cargo companies: FedEx UPS Cargolux Atlas Air Worldwide

Freight Carriers (All-Cargo) FedEx UPS Cargolux Atlas Air Worldwide

Combination Carriers Airline that carries cargo and passengers, in any configuration Only three airlines still operate true freighter/passenger aircraft Alaska Airlines Air China KLM Other airlines carrying cargo in the cargo hold, not on the main deck (typically in wide-body jets) Lufthansa Emirates

Combination Carriers True Combination Aircraft (Boeing 747) Passenger Aircraft (Boeing 747)

Integrators Combines all operations of freight shipping into one business Road carriage Freight forwarding Air transport Two major U.S. integrated freight companies FedEx UPS

Federal Express Founded in 1971 by Fred Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas Relocated its hub to Memphis, TN in 1973 Operational Characteristics: Implementing a hub-and-spoke network Controlling all facets of the express shipping process (ground and air) Limiting parcel size and weight

United Parcel Service Founded in 1907 in Seattle, Washington Started with truck routes along the U.S. west coast Started air service in 1929 (Great Depression) Air service restarted in 1953 International air service established in 1985

Describe Unit Load Device as it relates to the airline industry. Unit Load Devices (ULD) came about as a result of a desire to standardize cargo packaging ULD = Standardized Freight Container Allows freight forwarders or airlines to combine packages into a single container Some ULDs are designed to fit the curvature of the aircraft
