The book delves into air cargo capacity control by analyzing decision models that yield intuitive optimal decisions and developing efficient heuristics and bounds. It explores three distinct models: one for managing cargo space availability on individual flight legs, another that optimizes both seat and cargo capacity simultaneously, and a third that oversees cargo capacity across a network of flights. This comprehensive approach addresses critical aspects of air cargo management and enhances operational efficiency.
