Forecast of Airline volume for India made in the report suggests that the domestic and international Airline throughput is expected to grow by eight to ten times the present level in the next twenty years. Catering to the growth of this magnitude would involve expansion of infrastructure facilities, simplification of procedures and adoption of Information Technology/ Automation besides development of Human Resources in the sector. Out of the competitive analysis made on airline logistics service utilized by two export  companies,  it  was  observed  that  few  areas  like  reliability,  availability,  transit, expenses, customer service, and supply chain are to be standardized to bring the best out of these services. The two Exporters have shared their experience regarding the usage of Airline Logistics for their Export and import activities. Apart from few setbacks, Airline Logistics proves to be an effective measure for International operations.
