[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper discussing results of airline deregulation on the air cargo segment of the industry. All too often, business management can too closely be characterized by that organization that reacts to the business environment in which it operates, rather than taking hold and attempting to change what could be while working for industry-wide improvements.

Air Transport of Hazardous Materials
[ send me this essay ]
An 18 page paper discussing increasing regulation of air transport of hazardous materials, using primary lithium batteries and butane lighters as examples. Aviation authorities have moved to decrease risk in all areas, not only those appearing to be directly related to political pressures and the threat of terrorism. As hazardous materials are moved from one place to another and as manufacturing continues the trend of moving offshore, the movement of specific items becomes more frequent and therefore more open to accidents and transport-related problems. The current approach is to accept questionable items until it becomes apparent that these items should be transported by other means. The paper recommends that the government continue in this vein.
