Abstract
This paper discusses air cargo growth and development over the past several years and the use of 747s in intermodal air freight. Today's air freight system is developing into a highly automated future system which also involves trucks, containers, air freight terminals, and control systems necessary for overnight dock-to-dock shipper service. This development is explained and so are the effects, economically and otherwise, of intermodal air cargo on a worldwide air freight system.
