MANAGEMENT OF CARGO TRANSPORT AT AIRPORTS
Abstract
Transport management is an important logistics activity. The choice of transport branches ultimately boils down to two important elements such as costs and quality of services. The features and elements related to reliability, speed, the ability to control and carriage monitoring are also taken into account. Despite high costs, air transport is part of the global value chain that enables parts to be delivered to factories located in different parts of the world in a short time. Air transport creates 3.6% of the global value of GDP. The main advantage of this branch of transport is the short delivery time and high level of security of goods, including those sensitive to shocks. On the basis of statistical data, the tendency of increasing cargo transport in 2012-2017 can be seen. The paper presents the specification of cargoes transported by air, applicable documentation, a waybill and cargo units, and types of goods security.
