The events of the last few years, including the Covid pandemic, the energy crisis and increasing global tension, have contributed to new challenges facing the global supply of temperature-sensitive products. This book reviews the basic structure of the air cargo cool supply chain, featuring contributions from industry experts and case studies to provide readers with a well-rounded and practical understanding.
This book presents a multitude of cool chain activities with insights and case histories, such as the handling of delicate time sensitive air cargo and trends in technology to improve the integrity of shipments, geo-political challenges and world climatic crisis, medical pharma, food products, flowers and plants, containers and packaging. It examines trade lanes, regulations and quality standards, such as IATA’s CEIV standard, and considers security issues, especially theft of valuable products through fraud and insider criminal gangs. Responses to emergencies such as the Covid pandemic, disaster relief, seasonal fluctuations of growers and climate, as well as larger environmental issues and sustainability. Innovations in equipment, such as smart containers, aircraft design, drones, alternative fuels, electric vehicles and e-processing, are comprehensively but accessibly covered. Political actions affecting agricultural production and the impacts on transportation needs are also discussed.
The Air Logistics Cool Supply Chain will be directly relevant to professionals within the global supply, transport, international and air logistics, retail, food, pharmaceutical and packaging industries. It will also prove valuable to students and graduates seeking careers within these sectors.
