Abstract
Luftfragt er en vigtig, men ofte overset del af luftfarten. Ifølge IATA (International Air Transport Association) står luftbåren handel for over en tredjedel af verdens handel målt på produktværdi. At levere produkter af høj kvalitet til konkurrencedygtige priser på tværs af kloden er centralt for global økonomisk vækst. Det er ikke uden udfordringer at etablere en fragtafdeling i en lufthavn, men med grundig analyse og en klar strategi kan det lade sig gøre og bidrage positivt til lufthavnens samlede økonomi. Specialet fokuserer på Nanaimo International Airport i Nanaimo, Vancouver, British Columbia, en relativt lille lufthavn, der udvider efter 108% vækst over seks år. Det undersøger, om udvikling af en luftfragtsatsning er en realistisk og holdbar strategi til at styrke lufthavnens økonomiske resultater under udvidelsen, og hvilke hovedhensyn og skridt der er vigtigst.
Air cargo is a vital but often overlooked part of aviation. According to IATA (International Air Transport Association), air trade accounts for over one third of the world’s trade by product value. Delivering high-quality goods at competitive prices across the globe is central to economic growth. Establishing a cargo operation at an airport brings challenges, but with thorough analysis and a clear strategy it can work and contribute to the airport’s overall economy. This thesis focuses on Nanaimo International Airport in Nanaimo, Vancouver, British Columbia, a relatively small airport now expanding after 108% growth over six years. It examines whether developing an air cargo sector is a realistic and viable strategy to improve the airport’s economic performance during expansion, and identifies the key considerations and steps involved.
