Air freight industry
The next day air freight industry consists of a number of different commercial organizations who provide shippers with through freight services. These organizations, mainly within the private sector, operate in a highly competitive environment.
Airports act as landlords and infrastructure providers charging landing fees and stand rentals or parking fees to airlines (their main customers) and charging rent to service companies for passenger reception terminals, retail and catering outlets offices, cargo transit sheds, air craft maintenance work shops etc.
Airlines are the suppliers of air cargo capacity into and out of the US are either scheduled operators, charter operators, freighter operators or integrated carriers. Scheduled operators provide air cargo capacity principally in the belly holds of passenger or combo aircraft, though some also operate freight only capacity. Charter operators like BAX Global operating on holiday routes also offer freight capacity, which in line with their passenger business is seasonal. Freighter operators are the operators of freight only aircraft. Integrated carriers operate their own aircraft (and use belly hold capacity) to carry their own cargo, as part of a door-to-door express service for shippers and importers of goods.
