'This book is essential reading for anyone interested in air cargo, this includes students as well as people working in air transport. It gives a well-rounded and comprehensive view of the sector, covering key issues that affect this challenging area. The new edition addresses more recent developments as well as highlights the changes in this sector.' — Robert Mayer, Course Director, Cranfield University, UK'This is an excellent book about the essential but often overlooked area of air cargo. It’s a must for all students of air transportation' — James Pearson, Coventry University, UK'Given the fast changing environment and complexities of the air cargo industry this second edition of "Moving Boxes by Air - The Economics of International Air Cargo" is a useful update and extension of the original version. A good textbook and excellent background reading for practitioners.' — Rico Merkert, Deputy Director, Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, The University of Sydney Business School, Australia'Air Cargo may be the ‘poor relation’ of the aviation family, but the authors’ comprehensive analysis demonstrates that whilst perhaps never destined to be family head, cargo’s complexity and contribution to the family is underrated. This book proves air cargo is so much more than just ‘moving boxes by air’' — Gordon McJannett, Lecturer in Aviation Management, Coventry University'It is great to see that this book addresses the various complexities of air cargo transportation and gives insights into every aspect of it. It is therefore truly a must-study for those who want to make a career in purchasing, transportation and logistics. The laymen will discover some of the stuff that happens behind the scenes when they click ‘buy’ while purchasing their cell phone or whatever they are buying online from their favourite e-tailer’s site' — Ram C. Menen, retired aviation and air cargo executive, founding team member of Emirates and TIACA."Starting with 'Air cargo traffic and capacity' and ending with 'Air cargo forecasting,' Moving Boxes by Air gives a detailed insight into many of the aspects of what air cargo is about, delivered in such a way that both the new entrants and the 'old hands' in the business won't want to put it down once they've started to read...It is definitely a good reference publication and we feel is one which should gain the attention of air freight managers and their staff around the globe." - John Mc Donagh / Heiner Siegmund, Cargo Forwarder Global
