Abstract

Schiphol Cargo has initiated the idea of a central pickup and drop-off point for air cargo to solve the expected future cargo capacity shortages at the airport. This research contains a a design study towards such a central cargo facility. The facility is designed from multiple perspectives. Only the design variables that have a critical influence on the functioning of the facility are taken into account. The research also explains what influence the development of such a facility is expected to have on the performances of the airport.
