The role of air transport in logistics and supply chains seems difficult to be overestimated. In recent years increasing amounts of cargo have been transported by air. Numerous high-tech devices, valuable equipment, medical products and appliances are transported by air. The main advantage of air transport is speed but also broad transportation geo...

... one sixth of the world trade takes place in European Union countries. The value of international trade is much higher for goods than for services. The dynamics of trade turnover is also less stable and more violent than the dynamics of GDP changes. [3] Figure 1 illustrates the level of turnover of world trade in goods relative to the volume of air transport. It shows a sharp collapse in the level of both the volume of world trade in goods and the volume of cargo transported by air in 2009. Until this moment they are rising again. The growing tendency of both variables means that in both cases the increase in the volume of world trade in goods as well as the increase in the volume of cargo transported by the airport are taking place.

... This approach makes it possible: (i) to compare real world data and existing models of discrete choice at the airport level, and (ii) to test scenarios of the development of strategic recommendations for the social optimal separation of the automotive and aviation component. Rześny-Cieplińska et al. [ 7 ] present an unconventional way of organizing the transportation of cargoes by air, which ensures its attractiveness to all participants in the transport process and Heinitz et al. [ 8 ] describe the creation of software for routing air transportation of cargoes. The software module is an integral component of the multinational model of interaction between the demand and supply of air cargoes whose purpose is to analyze and forecast flows of air traffic on a global scale. ...

An expert assessment of a system for cargo flows management for a network air carrier on the basis of logistics was carried out. Part of the MATLAB code, which prepares the portforlio safegueard (PSG) entry for the optimization problem for the cargo flow is presented and the degree of commonality of the experts' opinions on the assessment of the impact of the implementation of the cargo flows management system is determined by calculation of two concordance coefficients.

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected flight schedules and operations planning as well as air cargo capacity and freight rates imposed by the air carriers around the world. Airlines had to quickly learn how to respond to fast changing conditions due to the constant changes of entry requirements introduced by many countries. The European air freight market, which had experienced a significant overcapacity before the pandemic, faced an unexpected decrease in cargo space under decks of the passenger aircrafts and a simultaneous increase in demand for this type of service. The purpose of this article is to present the activities undertaken by air carriers and airports regarding cargo transport during the COVID-19 crisis. The author focused on these measures, because the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus became a turning point for air carriers. Apart from the ever-lasting competition between market participants, there was a need to deal with external epidemic constraints and developing new and profitable market strategies.

Transport users frequently face the dilemma of maximizing the utility of usage of two resources—time and money in relation to the transport services. The perceived value of the transport services for passengers is the result of what they have received in relation to the costs of transport service. It expresses the concept of generalized cost, which includes financial costs, time costs, discomfort, and other elements that can be perceived in general by the user as costs. The chapter presents the generalized cost on the example of selection of private car and public transport. Car users, while comparing the ability to move by car or by public transport, often do not take into account the full cost of car ownership and usage. While in urban transport homogeneous rates for different tariffs are adopted, whereas in the case of individual transport costs are not limited to the fuel price. The concept of generalized cost is presented in the chapter, based on market research carried out in Szczecin and the proposed method of calculating these costs in transport.
