INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Compared with other means of freight transportation, such as ship, rail, and surface vehicles, air cargo is the newest addition to the freight sector.so Air freight is an important part of the global supply chain.
The air cargo industry plays an important role for the developing world, particularly for countries like India, where it is vital for exports and domestic shipments in the face of poor road conditions. India has emerged as the second fastest growing air cargo market after the Middle East and is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of about seven per cent over the next five years, according to IATA forecast.
The last decade‘s air cargo industry has showed dramatic rates of growth exceeding the airline passenger transport. Reduced costs of air transport and concepts of just-in-time etc. along with increased concerns regarding security of valuable products became a significant factor in the growth of related enterprises and the industry. The significant remaining belly-hold capacity of the airplanes after loading the passenger baggage was utilized for the air cargo transport and related services.Within the categories of major, national and regional airlines are, not only passenger carriers, but cargo carriers as well. While much of the cargo that moves by air is carried in the bellies of passenger jets or in combination aircraft where the main deck is divided into two sections, one for cargo and one for passengers; other aircraft in use by principally all cargo carriers, called freighters, carry nothing but freight. Freighters are, most often, passenger jets that have been stripped of their seats to maximize cargo-carrying capacity. In addition, their decks are reinforced to accommodate heavier loads, and have other cargo-handling features, such as rollers, built into the floors, extra-large doors, and hinged nose and tail sections etc.

LOGISTICS INDUSTRY
The prevalent view is that the term logistics comes from the late 19th century: from French logistique (logermeans to lodge). Others attribute a Greek origin to the word: λόγος, meaning reason or speech; λογιστικός, meaning accountant or responsible for counting.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities." However, the New Oxford American Dictionary defines logistics as "the detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies," and the Oxford Dictionary on-line defines it as "the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation." As such, logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering that creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems”.
Logistics is the management of the flow of things between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can include physical items, such as food, materials, animals, equipment and liquids, as well as abstract items, such as time, information, particles, and energy. The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, which ismaterial handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation,warehousing, and often security.The complexity of logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources is a common motivation in logistics for import and export.
Logistics viewpoints
Inbound logistics:-Inbound logistics is one of the primary processes of logistics, concentrating on purchasing and arranging the inbound movement of materials, parts, and/or finished inventory from suppliers to manufacturing or assembly plants, warehouses, or retail stores.
Outbound logistics:-Outbound logistics is the process related to the storage and movement of the final product and the related information flows from the end of the production line to end user.

Naresh Goyal – who already owned Jetair (Private) Limited, which provided sales and marketing for foreign airlines in India – set up Jet Airways as a full-service scheduled airline to compete against state-owned Indian Airlines. Indian Airlines had enjoyed a monopoly in
9
the domestic market between 1953, when all major Indian air transport providers were nationalised under the Air Corporations Act (1953), and January 1994, when the Air Corporations Act was repealed, following which Jet Airways received scheduled airline status.
Jet Airways is a major Indian airline based in Mumbai. It is the second largest airline in India, both in terms of market share and passengers carried, after IndiGo. It operates over 300 flights daily to 74 destinations worldwide. Its main hub is Mumbai, with secondary hubs at Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru
Jet Airways was incorporated as an air taxi operator on 1 April 1992. It started commercial operations on 5 May 1993 with a fleet of four leased Boeing 737-300 aircraft from Malaysia Airlines. In January 1994 a change in the law enabled Jet Airways to apply for scheduled airline status, which was granted on 4 January 1995. Naresh Goyal – who already owned Jetair (Private) Limited, which provided sales and marketing for foreign airlines in India – set up Jet Airways as a full-servicescheduled airline to compete against state-owned Indian Airlines. Indian Airlines had enjoyed a monopoly in the domestic market between 1953, when all major Indian air transport providers were nationalised under the Air Corporations Act (1953), and January 1994, when the Air Corporations Act was repealed, following which Jet Airways received scheduled airline status.
Jet began international operations from Chennai to Colombo in March 2004. The company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, but 80% of its stock is controlled by Naresh Goyal (through his ownership of Jet's parent company, Tailwinds). It has 13,177 employees (as at 31 March 2011). In January 2006 Jet Airways announced that it would buy Air Sahara forUS$500 million in an all-cash deal, making it the biggest takeover in Indian aviation history. It would have resulted in the country's largest airline but the deal fell through in June 2006. On 12 April 2007 Jet Airways agreed to buy out Air Sahara for INR14.5 billion (US$340 million). Air Sahara was renamed JetLite, and was marketed between a low-cost carrier and a full service airline. In August 2008 Jet Airways announced its plans to completely integrate JetLite into Jet Airways. In October 2008, Jet Airways laid off 1,900 of its employees, resulting in the largest lay-off in the history of Indian aviation.
However the employees were later asked to return to work; Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said that the management reviewed its decision after he analysed the decision with them. Jet Airways and their rival Kingfisher Airlines announced an alliance which primarily includes an agreement on code-sharing on both domestic and international flights, joint fuel management to reduce expenses, common ground handling, joint utilisation of crew and sharing of similar frequent flier programmes. On 8 May 2009 Jet Airways launched its low-cost brand, Jet Konnect. The decision to launch a new brand instead of expanding the JetLite network was taken after considering the regulatory delays involved in transferring aircraft from Jet Airways to JetLite, as the two have different operator codes. The brand was launched on sectors that had 50% or less load factor with the aim of increasing it to 70% and
10
above. Jet officials said that the brand would cease to exist once the demand for the regular Jet Airways increases.
CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND IDENTITY
Jet Airways's head office is located in the Siroya Centre in Andheri, Mumbai. Jet Airways's head office was previously located in the S.M. Centre, a rented, unmarked six-storey building in Andheri. In 2008 Robyn Meredith of Forbes stated that the complex was "as shabby as [Jet Airways] CEO Naresh Goyal's home is posh" and that the complex was "In need of a fresh coat of paint". The complex was 15 minutes driving time from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. In 2013, it was announced that Etihad Airways would buy a 24% stake in the airline through preferential allotment of shares.
SUBSIDIARIES
JetLite
JetLite was a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet Airways. It was established as Sahara Airlines on 20 September 1991 and began operations on 3 December 1993 with two Boeing 737-200 aircraft. Initially services were primarily concentrated in the northern sectors of India, keeping Delhi as its base, and then operations were extended to cover all the country. Sahara Airlines was rebranded as Air Sahara on 2 October 2000. On 12 April 2007 Jet Airways took over Air Sahara and on 16 April 2007 Air Sahara was renamed as JetLite. JetLite operated a fleet of mixed owned–leased Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft and Bombardier CRJ-200ER. JetLite ceased operations on 25 March 2012 after merger with Jet Konnect. The Bombardier jets were phased out but the Boeings remained in service and operated for JetKonnect. JetLite offered a buy on board service called JetCafé, offering food for purchase.
Jetconnect
JetKonnect, formerly Jet Airways Konnect, the low-cost brand of Jet Airways, was launched on 8 May 2009. It operated a fleet of Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft. The rationale for launching Jet Konnect was to close down loss-making routes and divert the planes to more profitable routes with higher passenger load factors. Jet already ran a low-cost airline named JetLite. According to Jet Airways, the decision to launch a low-cost brand instead of expanding the existing JetLite was taken to avoid the regulatory delays associated with moving excess aircraft and assets from Jet Airways to JetLite, which have separate operating codes. Jet Konnect offers a no frills flight where meals and other refreshments have to be purchased on board. To identify if the flight is a full service or Konnect the flight numbers for Konnect are in the series 9W 2000-2999. Jet Airways merged the JetLite brand into Jet Konnect on 25 March 2012. Jet Airways offered eight business class seats in Konnect to cash in on Kingfisher Airlines' woes. In December 2012, Jet Airways placed an order for 5 ATR 72-600 aircraft to "enhance regional connectivity." The first aircraft was delivered the same month, leased from GECAS and was operated for JetKonnect.
11
Jet Airways announced on 11 August 2014 that it would phase out Jet Konnect by the end of the year as part of plans to reposition itself as a uniform full-service operator. On 1 December 2014, Jet Konnect was fully merged with Jet Airways with complementary meal services to take on the competition from the new airline Vistara which was then to start it operations.
Following table shows the operations of Jet Airways for four consecutive years.

Jet Airways serves 47 domestic destinations and 22 international destinations, a total of 69[47] in 19 countries across Asia, Europe and North America. Short-haul destinations are served using Boeing 737 Next Generation. ATR 72-500s are used only on domestic regional routes, while long-haul routes are served using its Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. London, England was the airline's first long-haul destination and was launched in 2005. Since 2007 Jet Airways has had a scissors hub at Brussels Airport in Belgium for onward trans-atlantic connections to Canada and the United States.
The recession forced Jet Airways to discontinue the following routes: Ahmedabad–London, Birmingham-Brussels, Amritsar–London, Bangalore–Brussels, Mumbai–Shanghai–San Francisco and Brussels-New York JFK. It also had to put an indefinite delay on its expansion plans. Jet Airways was forced to lease out seven of its ten Boeing 777-300ERs to survive the financial crunch. Due to the recession all flights to North America were operated on an Airbus A330 replacing the Boeing 777-300ERs. It also had to sell a brand-new, yet-to-be-delivered Boeing 777-300ER in 2009 and had to defer all new aircraft deliveries by at least two years. The airline planned to restore the Mumbai-Shanghai route by the end of 2011 but never went through with it. As the economic crisis in the eurozone countries worsened, Jet also closed the Delhi-Milan route. Jet Airways relaunched service to New York's JFK International Airport and San Francisco via Abu Dhabi on May 1, 2014, and November 18, 2014, respectively, using its joint venture relationship with Etihad Airways.

Jet Airways has a three-star rated Business and First Class, and is in the top twenty-five business classes reviewed by Skytrax. Economy class has been reviewed as a three-star product by Skytrax.
2. First Class
First class is available on all Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. All seats convert to a fully-flat bed, similar to Singapore Airlines first class seat but smaller. It was the second airline in the world to have private suites (Emirates being the first with its introduction in 2003 on their Airbus A340-500s). All seats in First have a 29-inch widescreen LCD monitor with audio-video on-demand systems (AVOD), in seat power supply, and USB ports etc. Jet Airways is the first Indian airline to offer fully-enclosed suites on its aircraft; each suite has a closable door, making for a private compartment. Skytrax consumer airline reviewers recently rated Jet Airways First Class as being 44th best in the world.
3. Premiere
Première (Business Class) on the Airbus A330-200 and Boeing 777-300ER international fleet has a fully-flat bed with AVOD entertainment. Seats are configured in a herringbone pattern (1-2-1 on the Boeing 777-300ER, and 1-1-1 on the Airbus A330-200), with each seat offering direct access to the aisle. Première seats on the A330-200s leased from ILFC are configured differently in a 2-2-2 non-herringbone pattern. Each Première Seat has a 15.4-inch flat screen LCD TV with AVOD. USB ports and in-seat laptop power are provided.On the short-haul/domestic Boeing 737-700/800, all new aircraft are equipped with AVOD. All seats are standard recliner business-class seats with a few newer aircraft with electronic recline and massager.

6.Airport Lounges
Jet Airways Lounges are offered to First and Première Class passengers, along with JetPrivilege Platinum, Gold or Silver card members. The international lounge at Brussels has showers, business centre, entertainment facilities and children's play areas.
Brand ownership
Jet Airways does not own its brand. The brand is owned by Jet air Enterprises Ltd., a separate company substantially owned by Naresh Goyal, which licenses the brand to the airline in return for an annual payment. This arrangement is very similar to the terms governing the use of the "easy" brand by the easy Jet Airline Company Limited (the name under which easy Jet has been incorporated). Under the aforesaid arrangement, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the founder and largest individual shareholder of easy Jet Airline Co. Ltd. has sole ownership of the "easy" brand and licenses it to that airline for a specified payment. This kind of arrangement is of vitalimportance should the concerned airlines become the subject of a hostile takeover bid because the bidders will not automatically acquire ownership of their takeover target's brand and without access to the brand the takeover target will be less valuable.
Company Perspectives:
Jet Airways will be the most preferred domestic airline in India. It will be the automatic first choice carrier for the travelling public and set standards, which other competing airlines will seek to match.
Jet Airways will achieve this pre-eminent position by offering a high quality of service and reliable, comfortable and efficient operations.
Jet Airways will be an airline which is going to upgrade the concept of domestic airline travel--be a world class domestic airline.
Jet Airways will achieve these objectives whilst simultaneously ensuring consistent profitability, achieving healthy, long-term returns for the investors and providing its employees with an environment for excellence and growth.

Effective 1 February 2014, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration lowered India's aviation safety rating to a Category 2. As a result of the FAA action, all U.S.-based airlines are required to suspend all codeshare cooperation with any India-based airlines. This FAA decision is country specific for India, not airline specific.
On April 13, 2015, The FAA announced its revised safety rankings in which India was promoted to Grade A countries with respect to aviation.
JETAIR CARGO
Air cargo is any property carried or to be carried in an aircraft. Air cargo comprises air freight, air express and airmail. The rapid growth of international trade has created a global village where air transport assumes great importance in the transportation of goods. This is especially true of high yield items and perishable goods. It also helps reduce high inventory-carrying cost. Cargo emerged as a solid pillar of the industry in 1990s. The catalysts for the renewed growth in the sector were the express parcel carriers, typified by FedEx, DHL, TNT and UPS, and changes in practices in the manufacturing sector. In 1992, FedEx sent software on computer disks to thousands of customers, allowing them to track shipments from their own workstations. The rise of internet during in the years that followed contributed to increase the reliability and accessibility to the air cargo industry. Most airlines now offer to their customers, real-time flight status and the booking and tracking options. In addition, the industry is adopting electronic procedures, such as the electronic air waybill, to reduce the amount of paper documentation accompanying each shipment and increasing the security and safety of the transportation. Industry estimation says that 15-20 tonnes of air cargo are worth 30-40 economy passenger seats, when both are on passenger planes. Air cargo transports goods worth in excess of $6.8 trillion on an annual basis. This is approximately 35% of world trade by value. The sector itself generates nearly $70 billion every year and is an important component of the aviation industry which collectively supports 57 million jobs worldwide.
International freight volumes are set to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.1% over the next five years, with emerging economies set to become the fastest growing markets. The fastest growing international routes will be between the Middle East and Asia (6.2%), and within the Middle East (4.6%), according to the five-year forecast from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Africa and the Middle East, meanwhile, will become the fastest growing compound annual growth rate (CAGR) regions, with increases forecast at 4.4% and 4.7% respectively by 2018. But this positive picture for air freight is overshadowed by risks to the economic outlook. Trade protectionism remains a constant danger. Geopolitical concerns, volatility of oil prices and competition from rail and sea could also affect this forecast. The air cargo industry cannot afford to be complacent. The air cargo industry will aim to cut average transit times by up to 48 hours by 2020, supported by initiatives such as the e-Freight project, which will render air cargo shipments paperless. Air

freight is an essential component in aviation‘s success. As Des Vertannes, IATA Global Head of Cargo puts it: ―Even a volume gain of 0.5% against maritime freight would make an enormous difference to the long-term sustainability of air cargo. The sector is worth $66 billion in revenue to the airlines.‖ That figure represents about 11% of global airline revenue but cargo can be considerably more important to individual airlines.
Types of cargo
CARGO: The term cargo is equilent to the term "goods" carried in an aircraftother than mail and baggage(including personal effects accompanying passengers).
There are different forms of cargo -
1.Perishable cargo.
2.Valuable cargo.
3.Bonded cargo.
4.Diplomatic mail.
5.Live animals.
6.Unaccompanied baggage.
7.Couriers.
1.PERISHABLES
Perishable goods (such as fruits, flowers and vegetables) were among the first commodities carried by air. This kind of items deteriorates with time or exposition to adverse temperature and humidity.With years of operating experience, airlines have developed effective handling techniques for chilled and frozen products, providing shippers with optimum, cost-efficient packaging methods.
Perishable Cargo Regulations (PCR)
The Perishable Cargo Regulations manual is an essential reference guide for all parties involved in the packaging and handling of temperature sensitive products. The expertise of major airlines and the scientific data supplied by research institutions was essential to develop this manual, endorsed by the IATA Live Animals and Perishables Board (LAPB).
2.VALUABLE CARGO (VAL)
Valuable cargo means a consignment which contains one or more of the following articles:
Any article having a declared value of carriage of USD 1000.00 (or equivalent) or more, per gross kilogram; except in the United Kingdom GBP 450.00, or more per gross kilogram;
21
Gold bullion (including refined and unrefined gold in ingot form), dore bullion, gold specie and gold in the form of grain, sheet, foil, powder, sponge, wire, rod, tube, circles, mouldings and castings, platinum, platinum metals (Palladium, iridium, ruthenium, osmium and rhodium) and platinum alloys in the form of grain, sponge, bar, ingot, sheet, rod, wire, gauze, tube and strip (but excluding those radioactive isotopes of the above metals and alloys which are subject to restricted articles labelling requirements);
Legal banknotes, traveller's cheques, securities, shares, share coupons and stamps (excluding mint stamps from United Kingdom) and ready for use bank cards and/or credit cards;
Diamonds, (including diamonds for industrial use), rubies, emeralds, sapphires, opals and real pearls (including cultured pearls);
Jewellery consisting of diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, opals and real pearls (included cultured pearls);
Jewellery and watches made of silver and/or gold and/or platinum;
Articles made of gold and/or platinum, other than gold and/or platinum plated.
3.DANGEROUS GOODS (DGR)
Articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in the Technical Instructions or which are classified according to those Instructions are called as Dangerous Goods.
Pegasus Airlines policy for the carriage of dangerous goods is based on the current IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
THE 9 CLASSES OF DANGEROUS GOODS
‘Dangerous goods’ are materials or items with hazardous properties which, if not properly controlled, present a potential hazard to human health and safety, infrastructure and/ or their means of transport.The transportation of dangerous goods is controlled and governed by a variety of different regulatory regimes, operating at both the national and international levels. Prominent regulatory frameworks for the transportation of dangerous goods include the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, ICAO’s Technical Instructions, IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations and the IMO’s International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. Collectively, these regulatory regimes mandate the means by which dangerous goods are to be handled, packaged, labelled and transported.
Regulatory frameworks incorporate comprehensive classification systems of hazards to provide a taxonomy of dangerous goods. Classification of dangerous goods is broken down into nine classes according to the type of danger materials or items present, click on a class to read more details;
Explosives
Gases
Flammable Liquids

4.BONDED CARGO
Bonded cargo is cargo for which duty has not been paid. It is still under customs control and has to be moved to a bonded .warehouse
5.DIPLOMATIC CARGO
A diplomatic bag, also known as a diplomatic pouch, is a container with certain legal protections used for carrying official correspondence or other items between a diplomatic mission and its home government or other diplomatic, consular, or otherwise official entities. The physical concept of a "diplomatic bag" is flexible and therefore can take many forms (e.g., a cardboard box, briefcase, duffel bag, large suitcase, crate or even a shipping container). Additionally, a diplomatic bag usually has some form of lock and/or tamper-evident seal attached to it in order to deter interference by unauthorized third parties. The most important point is that as long as it is externally marked to show its status, the "bag" has diplomatic immunity from search or seizure,as codified in article 27 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. It may only contain articles intended for official use. It need not be a bag; in fact, no size limit is specified by the convention. It is often escorted by a diplomatic courier, who is similarly immune from arrest and detention.
35
6.UN-ACCOMPANIED BAGGAGE
Passengers with excessive check-in baggage (i.e in-addition to the standard baggage allowance) can send their goods as unaccompanied baggage based on the published cargo rate, instead of paying high excess baggage rate at check-in. In certain stations, there will be other additional charges in addition to the unaccompanied baggage rate. No dangerous goods or any liquid are allowed in the unaccompanied baggage.
7.COURIERS
An air travel courier -- sometimes called a casual courier -- is a person who carries shipping documents on international flights for a courier company in exchange for a discounted air ticket. Often the courier must forfeit his baggage allowance
EXPORT CARGO
Export cargo is required to be brought in "ready for carriage condition" with proper packing, Bar - coded labeling, marks & numbers etc. prominently marked on all sides of packages, duly accompanied by a 'Carting Order' from concerned airline, Air Waybill, Shipping Bill, Baggage declaration, for admission of cargo. Terminal Storage & Processing charges are to be paid to the CTO at the Bank/CTO counter in export wing for Non-EDI documents & on-line payment through Web for documents processed through EDI system
IMPORT CARGO
It is received by CTO from Airlines on said-to-contain and said-to- weigh basis as per Import General Manifestation (IGM). "Delivery of the consignment is effected against the Delivery Order from the airline and after Customs 'out of charge' on payment of applicable CTO charges". Import cargo which remains unclaimed beyond 30 days of landing is liable to be disposed off in terms of Section 48 of the Customs Act, 1962. CTO is not associated in examination of contents of packages at any stage. Examination is carried out by Customs in the presence of consignee or their authorized representative(s). The free storage period is 72 Hrs, the date of flight arrival counting as the first day. Shipments that are not cleared within 72 Hrs are subject to demurrage charges as per applicable charges.
