Simulating the Impact of COVID-19 Scenarios on Air Freight Logistics Supply Chain

Abstract

The current business environment seeks practice-oriented logistics solutions to sustain the pandemic situation. Increased capacity in the air freight supply chain and cargo freight operations will necessitate simplified methods to improve cargo handling efficiency. We have investigated the impact of covid 19 scenarios on global airfreight handling services. The findings of a simulation study done on a case of an Indian International Airport specialized cargo division are presented in this article. We addressed the influence of the COVID19 pandemic on supply chains by providing recent instances from one of India's biggest international airports in the eastern zone. Using anyLogistix simulation software, we demonstrate how simulation modeling rapidly and accurately simulates and evaluates supply chain interruptions. The findings of this study may help decision-makers predict operational and tactical risk mitigation methods, as well as the effects of pandemic disruptions.
