Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is one of the world 's leading cargo airports. In 2014, nearly 2.5 million metric tons of cargo moved through the airport, which ranked fifth in metric tons of cargo loaded and unloaded, and reported a

This kind of goods could prove catastrophic, result in substantial loss of both financial and life. This case provide a idea that people must change perception, which is consumers are not the whole components of movement of goods, but the movement of goods and merchandise essential to life and economic vitality. It breaks limit of scope to discuss present threat of cargo supply chain, sources

drivers offer the company. The potential to reduce delivery times as well as cut costs is highly likely by expanding the use of own cargo planes and Flex drivers nationwide and internationally. As of December of 2016, Amazon is operating a total of 346 global distribution infrastructures, 201 of which are located in the U.S., and 37 facilities in the making. If cargo planes could deliver to these locations and if a Flex driver delivery system is offered directly from each of these facilities, no

increase (Barnard,2015). There was fluctuation in air cargo demand over the last 10 years from 2006 to 2016 which indicates that cargo demand could be changed by some external and internal influences. Some figures were released about worldwide air freight market and presented that air cargo capacity increased 2.2%, comparing to 2014. While this was the 5% growth calculated by The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the growth of cargo volumes in 2015 was much slower than 2014(Barnard, 2015)

Heavy-Lift Cargo Airline History/Background As the air cargo industry grew after World War II, the need for large cargo aircraft increased worldwide. Items such as military tanks, aircraft engines, space station sections, satellites, factory power plants, and large construction equipment needed to be transported from manufacturing plants or job sites to locations around the world. This type of cargo, also known as oversized, outsized, or heavy-lift cargo, did not fit in conventional aircraft. Several

favorable outcomes. Nearly 40 years later, the message and tone of the FedEx Corporation (2015a) Annual Report was again boasting a transformative year, and crediting its employees. But the success of FedEx Corporation, and specifically its air cargo and freight services (known as FedEx Express), does not rely solely on the hard work of people. Instead, success is the result of a vision, philosophy, approach, and perhaps simply some good fortune; all of which can be found in closer look at the

and imaginative techniques, the procedures and systems of how cargo is moved and handled is streamlined. Prior to containerization, moving freight from one location to another across the globe was a tedious practice and often took an extended amount of time. Manufacturers would use various configurations with dissimilar sizes and weights which led to additional time at each location being required to handle the different sized cargo. The use of intermodal containers has changed the shipping industry

Primarily, trucks have a very crucial role to play as far as transportation is concerned. They move cargo from one place to the other throughout the United States. As per research, it is believed that approximately one-ninth of traffic fatalities in the United States have either directly or indirectly involved large trucks. The research further claims that 3% of all accidents results from large trucks. The later has been facilitated by increasing numbers of trucks that are registered annually. This

due to the variety of purposes for which these ports exist. Some ports focus on passenger cruise vessels or recreational craft, others strictly on goods and cargo, some have military importance or responsibilities, while
