The aim of the project is to examine air express/freight to (a) come up with more accurate representation of the types of active links; (b) convert the links to aircraft movements; (c) make reasonable estimate of fuel/energy use by fleet operations; and (d) allocate the costs of these movements to hubs in a realistic way. Data on over FedEx 180,000 flights provide the basis for these calculations. The project successfully addressed these aims by computing and allocating fuel costs to almost all the data for one year of operation by FedEx. (The data do not include segments which begin and end outside the US, and the data are for air only.) Ancillary reports and data analysis addressed some of the broader issues of the integration of modes.
