Abstract

Purpose Air transport accounts for nearly 40% worth of the global trade cargo volume, where more than 50% of the air cargo is carried on passenger flights. Therefore, this paper aims to focus on identifying the influencing factors for both passenger and cargo demand-driven networks to smoothen the global supply chain. Design/methodology/approach The data for the study was collected through literature reviews and interviews with industry experts. The analytical hierarchy process was used to analyze the expert's opinions on the critical factors affecting air cargo demand growth. Regression analysis was conducted using the selected variables to develop a model to calculate air cargo demand growth. Findings According to the expert opinion, it was identified that facilities under airport capacities and facilities are mainly affected by the air cargo carried by combi carriers. The model was developed considering the air connectivity index and air cargo demand at destination variables. Research limitations/implications The factors identified here are mainly related to the current situation in Sri Lanka. Applying this methodology to other economic zones will add new factors related to their economic contexts and could be generalized as the influencing factors for the growth of air cargo demand by finding more results. Originality/value Previous studies have been conducted using different factors and models to forecast air cargo demand, and those did not consider demand from combi and all-cargo carriers together. More than 98% of air cargo trades in Sri Lanka are happening through combi carriers. Hence, Sri Lanka will be a best case study to analyze the behavior of combi carriers.

确定航空货运需求增长的关键影响因素
目的航空运输占全球贸易货物量的近40%,其中50%以上的航空货物通过客运航班运输。因此,本文旨在重点确定客运和货运需求驱动网络的影响因素,以平滑全球供应链。设计/方法/方法通过文献综述和行业专家访谈收集研究数据。层次分析法用于分析专家对影响航空货运需求增长的关键因素的意见。使用所选变量进行回归分析,以建立计算航空货运需求增长的模型。调查结果根据专家意见,已查明机场容量不足的设施和设施主要受到联合承运人所载航空货物的影响。该模型是在考虑航空连通性指数和目的地航空货运需求变量的情况下开发的。研究局限性/影响本文确定的因素主要与斯里兰卡的现状有关。将这一方法应用于其他经济区将增加与其经济背景相关的新因素,并可通过发现更多结果将其概括为航空货运需求增长的影响因素。独创性/价值以前的研究使用不同的因素和模型来预测航空货运需求,而这些研究没有将联合航空公司和所有货运公司的需求放在一起考虑。斯里兰卡98%以上的航空货运交易是通过联合航空公司进行的。因此,斯里兰卡将是分析组合承运人行为的最佳案例研究。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing aims to foster and lead the international debate on global operations and strategic sourcing. It provides a central, authoritative and independent forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development, applications, processes and current practices relating to sourcing strategically for products, services, competences and resources on a global scale and to designing, implementing and managing the resulting global operations. Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing places a strong emphasis on applied research with relevant implications for both knowledge and practice. Also, the journal aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and opinions on research projects and issues. As such, on top of a standard section publishing scientific articles, there will be two additional sections: "The Industry ViewPoint": in this section, industrial practitioners from around the world will be invited (max 2 contributions per issue) to present their point of view on a relevant subject area. This is intended to give the journal not just an academic focus, but a practical focus as well. In this way, we intend to reflect a trend that has characterised the past few decades, where interests and initiatives in research, academia and industry have been more and more converging to the point of collaborative relationships being a common practice. "Research Updates - Executive Summaries". In this section, researchers around the world will be given the opportunity to present their research projects in the area of global sourcing and outsourcing by means of an executive summary of their project. This will increase awareness of the on-going research projects in the area and it will attract interest from industry.
