From page 24... ... 24 ConCLusions froM interviews The airport officials, experts, and cargo carrier representatives interviewed for this study generally agreed that the greater emphasis on passenger traffic has led to less interest in understanding the truck trips generated by air cargo facilities. As a result, it is not validated that developing and using air cargo truck trip generation rates would improve airport cargo facility planning. Read the entire page →
