Abstract

Kargo uçağı tipi seçimi, özellikle bir kargo uçağının satın alınması halinde ciddi bir mali yük oluşturduğundan hava kargo taşıyıcılarının ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğini etkileyen stratejik kararlardan biridir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, hava kargo taşıyıcılarının iş modellerine göre en iyi kargo uçağı tipini belirlemelerine yardımcı olacak bir metodoloji ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, literatürden ve uzmanlardan toplanan nitel ve nicel kriterler kullanılmaktadır. Kriter ağırlıklarını belirlemek için AHP tekniği kullanılmıştır. En iyi alternatif kargo uçağı tipini seçmek için ise TOPSIS ve VIKOR tekniklerinden faydalanılmıştır. Bulgular, sektör geneli için A330-200F ve B777F kargo uçağı tiplerinin en iyi iki kargo uçağı tipi olduğunu göstermektedir.

STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING FOR AIR CARGO CARRIERS ON FREIGHTER TYPE SELECTION

Abstract

The selection of freighter type is one of the strategic decisions that influence the economic sustainability of air cargo carriers, as it creates a serious financial burden, especially in case of purchasing a freighter. In this context, the aim of this study is to provide a methodology for air cargo carriers to help them determine the best freighter type in terms of their business models. The study is applied criteria including qualitative and quantitative drawn from the related literature and experts. AHP technique is used to determine criterion weights. TOPSIS and VIKOR techniques are utilized to select the best alternative freighter type. Findings show that A330-200F and B777F freighter types as the top two freighters for sector-wide results.
