| Özet |
| Perishable goods transportation has become a very important part of the logistics chain. The increasing requirements of rapid transportation and delivery in chilled and frozen products via air cargos have necessitated new terms and regulations in the cold chain management. Since the carriage of foodstuffs has an important impact on public health, air cargo companies have to take utmost care while packaging and moving goods and to protect them against leakage, spillage and contamination from other cargos. Nowadays, many air cargo companies use both thermal (refrigerated) and general-purpose aircraft containers to transport perishable goods, whose standards were determined by IATA (International Airline Transportation Association) and national safety regulations. This study will focus on effective transport and handling techniques for time and temperature sensitive commodities by providing optimum, cost-efficient packaging methods in the air cargo shipping industry. In 2000, 90 Million tons chilled and frozen goods were transported throughout the world where 3 Million tons of these types of goods were carried by air cargos which corresponded with 5% of total perishable goods transportation. The portion of perishable shipments and delivery to the market via aircrafts will be expected to grow dramatically in the next few years as airline transportation is becoming a more viable option. After changes in airline regulations, especially in domestic flights, the emphasis on these criteria is to increase the understanding of the need to maintain temperature and safety conditions. |
