In recent years, I’ve been fascinated by India’s ability to reinvent itself. A country that has traditionally endured economic chal- lenges has become the world’s second-fastest growing nation and has transformed itself into a true economic powerhouse, resulting in rising income for the estimated 300 million people in its middle class. Several economic indicators have shown how far India has progressed. In 2004, India’s companies realized better than 15 percent on invested 31 capital. From 1999 to 2003, the percentage of non-performing loans dropped from about 15 percent to about 8 percent. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm 54 74 regional company 56 Rapid Reaccommodation: 60 Opening 68 From Planning Attaining Higher Levels the Door Through Execution of Customer Service Perot Systems helped launch Successful airlines are able to Sabre® Reaccommodation an economic surge in India that market their service, sell tickets, Manager helps airlines quickly proves valuable to the country’s serve customers and operate 74 respond to flight cancellations airlines. efficiently.

Lóránt Tavasszy, Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management Dr. Daniele Ragni Faculty of Aerospace Engineering Daniel dos Reis Miranda, Seabury Consulting An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/ iii PREFACE After a successful research at Seabury Consulting about wind implica- tions on the air cargo capacity of an aircraft in the Summer of 2015, the opportunity arose of doing a graduation research project in the cargo field. The original idea Seabury had, was to solve a puzzle which looked like a big Sudoku in the first place, but has appeared to be an multi dimensional Rubik’s Cube. At least Seabury was the one with the right data to get started, so the idea had to be converted into a pro- posal with a strong framework to get to an academic research project. From the moment Lori got involved and brought some fundamental methodologies to approach the problem, the kick-off was a fact. The constant awareness of both developing an academic supported model, but also keeping in mind that this was the first step of a poten- tial commercial product, was very challenging and kept me motivated.

    THE RISE OF CARGO-FOCUSED HUB AIRPORTS PANDEMIC YEAR 2020 Chaddick Policy Brief | March 25, 2021 By Joseph P. Schwieterman and Euan Hague Our analysis of newly released air cargo traffic data for 2020 shows that: Tonnage at cargo-focused hub airports, i.e., airports with extensive cargo traffic but little or no passenger traffic, grew 31.4% from 2019 to 2020 Chicago Rockford, Wilmington Air Park, Ft. Worth Alliance, and Boeing Field/King Co. airports were among the leaders of the 14 cargo-focused hubs identified A surge in online buying for at-home delivery is fueling much of the growth Airports that are focal points for air freight integrators DHL, FedEx, and UPS and have more passenger traffic than cargo-focused hubs grew more slowly, yet at a still substantial 9.0% rate The rapid growth raises important social, economic, and environmental questions he emergence, evolution, and performance of specialized cargo airports have long been of T interest to investors and policymakers in the United States.1 This Chaddick Policy Brief reviews the recent growth of cargo-focused hub airports, i.e., airports that have significant roles in cargo movement while handling a low volume of passenger traffic. Examples of such airports are California’s Sacramento Mather and Ft. Worth Alliance airports. This Brief reviews findings from our analysis of newly released 2020 data and offers brief case studies of six prominent cargo-focused hub airports.
