“…The key specification of AeroLogic's Boeing B777-200LRF aircraft are presented in Table 3. An airline can purchase aircraft outright or acquire them through rental (leasing) agreements [46,132]. The AeroLogic joint venture partners will lease, rather than purchase, their fleet of eight Boeing B777-200LRF freighter aircraft [133,134].…”

This paper presents a case study of the DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo strategic joint venture cargo airline 'AeroLogic', the global air cargo industry's largest operative joint venture between an airline and a leading international express and logistics provider. The study used a qualitative research approach. The data gathered for the study was examined by document analysis. The strategic analysis of the AeroLogic joint venture was based on the use of Porter's Five Forces framework. The study found that the AeroLogic joint venture airline has provided synergistic benefits to both partners and has allowed the partners to access new markets and to participate in the evolution of the air cargo industry. The new venture has also enabled both joint venture partners to enhance their competitive position in the global air cargo industry through strengthened service offerings and has provided the partners with increased cargo capacities, a larger route network, and greater frequencies within their own route networks. The study also found that the AeroLogic business model is unique in the air cargo industry.

As modern aircraft manufacturing becomes increasingly competitive and complex, there is an ever-expanding need for effective marketing. Never before has it been more vital for aircraft manufacturers' sales departments to transmit sales messages that inform, persuade, entertain, motivate and inspire. The question is: "What makes the aircraft sales campaign successful and how aircraft manufacturer can succeed against competitors?" Are there any differences between "big" and "small" players on the market? This paper offers number of insights on how aircraft manufacturers do their daily aircraft sales and marketing process. It points out major differences in how it is exercised by large and small aircraft manufacturers. The paper also suggests that if aircraft manufacturer is to be successful today, it must become competitor-oriented rather than customer-oriented. It must look for weak points in the positions of its competitors and then launch marketing warfare against those weak points.

“…The maximum distance that an aircraft can fly, given a certain amount of fuel in the tanks, is referred to as the aircraft's range (Horonjeff et al, 2010). The aircraft payload is the useful load that may be carriedpassengers, air cargo, or mail (Clark, 2017;Sadraey, 2013). Several factors affect this performance, such as takeoff and landing performance limitations in combination with aerodrome considerations (runways length, weather, etc), but more directly by the certified maximum takeoff weight (MTOW).…”

The introduction of the Airbus A350-900 (A359) and the Boeing B787-9 (B789) have enabled airlines to operate ultra-long-range services. Using a mixed methods research design, this study has examined the air cargo-carrying potential of Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900XWB (A359) and United Airlines Boeing B787-9 (789) aircraft on their ultra-long-haul San Francisco to Singapore and the Singapore to San Francisco air routes. The qualitative data was analysed using document analysis, and the air cargo payload was modelled by simulation. The air cargo-carrying potential of the two aircraft types was significantly influenced by enroute weather. In the event of eastbound winds, the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900XWB air cargo payload was 16.9 tonnes and the United Airlines Boeing 787-9 was 11.5 tonnes, when these flights had a full passenger payload. In the case of westbound winds with a full passenger payload, the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900XWB air cargo payload was 13.1 tonnes and the United Airlines Boeing 787-9 was 7.9 tonnes. When there were no winds on the air routes, the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900XWB offered 15.0 tonnes and the United Airline Boeing 787-9 offered 9.7 tonnes of air cargo payload, respectively.
