“…In addition, several studies consider security as one of the most important qualities of airline services (Min and Min 2015 ; Parast and Fini 2010 ; Jou et al 2008 ; Rhoades and Waguespack 2000 ). Every airline has had to follow common safety and security standards since 9/11 attacks to operate air cargo businesses (da Cunha et al 2017 ). Since the 9/11 attacks, terrorist attacks, insurance premiums for all airlines have risen significantly in response to intensified global safety/security risks (Yardon 2019 ).…”

“…With this in mind, the current study tests security measures such as essential service quality in air-cargo pricing. Although several studies have investigated the role of safety and security measures to indicate the airline’s service quality in air cargo shipping charges, relatively few studies have explored how security premiums impact total air cargo shipping charges (da Cunha et al 2017 ).…”

“…On the other hand, after the September 11 attacks (hereafter 9/11), the risk of direct terrorism has forced firms in both the passenger and cargo sectors to fortify their operational processes against attacks. Since then, airlines have been charging fees to customers, including security surcharges–-additional costs to pay for security measures driven by the airport authorities from a flight’s origin to its destination (da Cunha et al 2017 ). In the case of air cargo, security surcharges that cover the cost of security, safety, navigation through dangerous areas, and x-ray measures to ensure the speed of transport have risen.…”

This paper examines the effect of security oversight on air cargo price and demand. We exploit variations in security oversight instituted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). We estimate a simultaneous equation model using proprietary operations data from a major airline in South Korea over the period 2009–2013. This study explores the shipping-charge behavior of a service provider through a modeling approach that considers air cargo security. Our findings show that security oversight increases air cargo demand, controlling for the effect of price. Improving security measures increases the air cargo price, but the magnitude of this increase is small. Our results should help policymakers gauge the benefit of improved security and help airlines design an effective model to determine future air cargo shipping charges under high uncertainty to mitigate short- and long-term financial risks.

“…The screening process was also not addressed as a pre-flight cargo handling step. Amorim da Cunha et al [13] note that smaller and medium-sized airports incur higher security costs than larger airports due to low cargo and passenger traffic. Brandt and Nickel [14] summarized in their review that studies that address air cargo scheduling issues focus on aircraft configuration, built-up scheduling, air cargo palletization, weight and balance problems.…”

This article presents a novel model for the management of air cargo shipment screening. Previous research has focused solely on making the air cargo screening process as efficient as possible. These scientific papers did not look at the costs generated by the improper selection of technical equipment for the cargo handled. The challenge is to be able to complete the entire screening process in the expected time with the lowest possible energy consumption. This article presents a discrete-event simulation model for the balanced planning of air cargo screening. The innovation of this solution is the parallel analysis of process performance and energy consumption. The user receives two variables (energy consumption and process execution time) in relation to the number of cargo shipments handled. The user can therefore control the process by taking these variables into account. This will allow the user to find the right system configuration for the preferences desired. It is possible to strike a balance between achieved process efficiency and energy consumption. This approach has not been considered so far. Given that energy consumption constitutes 15% of operating costs at airports, this is an important issue that needs to be addressed.
