  • Concepts for Cargo Ground Handling of Unmanned Cargo Aircrafts and Their Influence on the Supply Chain

Bremen, Germany 4Institute of Air Transport and Airport Research, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Brunswick, Germany E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. The steadily growing share of air freight transport in the entire logistics industry is mainly due to the three major advantages of speed, safety and reliability. To meet the rising demands, automated transport and delivery processes are increasingly used. As part of the DLR (German Aerospace Center) research project Automated Low Altitude Delivery (ALAADy), a fully automated Unmanned Cargo Aircraft (UCA) with a payload of one ton under the precondition of the Minimum Risk Configuration is being developed in cooperation with seven DLR institutes. As a general area of application, the UCA is appropriate for the so-called “penultimate mile” in the air freight logistics chain, but in order to create optimal integration in the supply chain, the main focus is on the important link of the loading, unloading or reloading processes. The theoretical and practical concepts of this topic were examined within the study under the premise that “No infrastructure exits at destination” in order to obtain the most automated process possible for future logistics.

The first chapter is dedicated to general information about air cargo transportation. This includes the history or types of cargo aircraft handling, but also the means of handling. The second part is focused on detailed description of cargo aircraft handling, including a description of activities that are performed before and after handling. The following part of this paper covers a theoretical interpretation of safety, safety indicators and legislative provisions related to the safety of cargo aircraft handling. The fourth part of this paper analyzes the fault trees of events which might occur during handling. The factors found by this analysis are compared with safety reports of FedEx. Based on the comparison, there is a proposal on how to improve the safety management in this transportation company. Keywords Air cargo transportation — FedEx — FTA — Handling — Predictive Analysis — Safety — Safety factors 1. Introduction [2]. These events are monitored and analysed on a daily ba- sis.

    Air Cargo Market Analysis September 2020 Recovery in air cargo modestly accelerated in September • The speed of recovery in air cargo increased slightly in September. Industry-wide cargo tonne-kilometres (CTKs) fell by 8.0% year-on-year compared with 12.1% decline in August. Month-on-month, CTKs showed the fastest growth since May, at 3.7%. The industry rebound remains largely driven by North American airlines. • Key demand drivers of air cargo remain supportive despite the resurgence of COVID-19 cases. In Q4, cargo demand should be reasonably solid amid traditionally large e-commerce events & launches of popular consumer electronics. • The lack of cargo capacity remains a key obstacle for faster recovery in air cargo business.

    Trade and COVID-19 Guidance Note FACILITATING AIR FREIGHT – POLICIES AND ACTIONS1 Daniel Saslavsky and Cordula Rastogi May 5, 2020 Public Disclosure Authorized KEY MESSAGES • Air connectivity is at the center of the COVID-19 crisis: global air cargo capacity has dropped substantially since most commercial passenger flights have been cancelled or grounded worldwide; • Air cargo operators are trying to satisfy the existing demand, and also support pandemic-related relief efforts, mostly with freighters, and also with repurposed passenger widebody aircrafts (carrying freight in the main cabin); • The economic impact for developing countries is likely to be felt directly through the loss of cargo capacity and skyrocketing air cargo rates, as well as cascading effects from all-cargo operations; • Governments should coordinate and work with industry to ease regulatory and operational restrictions on air cargo operations to ensure market access, essential operations and timely turnaround at airports and Public Disclosure Authorized hubs; • Many passenger airlines (responsible for hauling half of air cargo globally) will require financial support or restructuring, in a context of prolonged revenue starvation and assets’ immobility; AIR CARGO IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC The evolving COVID-19 crisis is taking a huge toll on aviation services worldwide. The travel bans in effect and the sharp drop in demand have resulted in the grounding of passenger flights almost shutting down the global air transport market and significantly disrupting cross-border trade carried in passenger widebody aircraft (Figure 1a and 1b)2. Only 20 percent of the widebody passenger capacity is still flying today. And since about half of air cargo globally travels in commercial scheduled passenger flights—mostly in the belly hold compartments of widebody aircrafts—hence daily international cargo capacity has dropped by approximately Public Disclosure Authorized 35-40 percent in March 2020, as compared to 2019.
