... Page 2-1 CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW -- AIRPORT AIR CARGO FACILITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER OVERVIEW This literature review identifies current trends and state-of-the-art research in airport strategic planning and airport master planning with a focus on air cargo facility planning and development. Through this review, several themes emerged which will dictate the direction of future research trends in this field.

... Page 2-2 the FAA has developed guidelines for the master planning process which involves a specific formalized process as detailed in the FAA's Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, May 1, 2007. Internationally, airport planners utilize manuals by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)

... Page 2-9 addition to mail, express, and emergency cargoes, air transportation is being used for perishable commodities, such as seafood, flowers, pharmaceuticals, and just-in-time deliveries. The following issues related to airport air cargo facility planning and design were identified during the literature review: There is a need for airport planning practitioners to better understand methods for conducting specific air cargo planning studies and collecting air cargo data.

... Page 2-14 mandates the air cargo security regulations is the Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007, also known as the 9/11 Act. The Act directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a system to enable industry to screen 100% of cargo transported on passenger aircraft at a level of security commensurate with the level of security of passenger checked baggage within three years.

... Page 2-15 the application of risk management to cargo for identifying threats and implementing the required security measures, including the vetting of advance-cargo information. More stringent ICAO standards concerning air cargo were enacted on July 1, 2011, which include a new requirement for Member States to establish a supply-chain security process (ICAO and WCO Join Forces to Strengthen Air Cargo Security, 2011)
From page 27...
... Page 2-16 In addition to utilizing quieter aircraft, air cargo operators have implemented procedures for takeoff and landings that minimize noise exposure to more densely populated communities. In addition, night curfews or restricted night operations are found at many airports, particularly in Europe.
