Logistics in Aviation Industry
Abstract/Introduction :
Logistics is the one important function in business today. No marketing, manufacturing or project execution can succeed without logistics support. 'Logistics ' is the management of the flow of resources, not only goods, between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations. Logistics is one of the main functions within a company. The main targets of logistics can be divided into performance related and cost related. They are high due date reliability, short delivery times, low inventory level and high capacity utilization. But when decisions need to be made, there is always a trade off between these targets. Air transportation provides critical capabilities for a modern economy. Whether it involves passengers or cargo, the ability to quickly and reliably move valuable resources over great distances improves the quality of life and standard of living of people across the globe. While you may be more familiar with the term “aviation” than “logistics,” you observe logistics in action any time you travel or purchase a product. Now days the whole picture of logistics in aviation industry is changed as it facing so many challenges due to huge volumes of cargo and passengers. This proposal will enlighten those challenges and their solution which airlines and airports are using to overcome.
Background to the Study
An aviation industry is the world’s fastest growing mode of transportation of people, cargo & mail from country to country. The beginning of the aviation industry started with the launch of first “La France”, the first fully controlled airship in 1885. On 17 December 1903, Wright brothers were the first who made flight of approximately 12 seconds on first engine powered aircraft. After this, the formation of American Airline in 1928 & United Airlines in 1931 booms the Aviation industry. Early aviation promoters were always looking for practical uses for
