Abstract

Proper freight handling is mandatory to support international supply chains because the optimization of the ground transportation and the aircraft capacity can greatly increase the overall performance and efficiency of the freight circulation process. This article also provides a detailed six faceted analytical paradigm capable of improving both ground and air freight routes as well as their capacity. Analyzing quantitative data, ways of using simulation and performance measurement, and including them into the framework are all also aimed to manage multi-modal freight systems. The literature review compares and contrasts current research methodologies as well as explores the areas that remain unexplored. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework, this article describes various cases from different industries and discusses ways in which the approach under consideration can be employed in practice. The objectives which indicate the effectiveness of some of the optimization strategies that may be implemented are quantified. The implications highlighted in the study include sustainability, technology, and versatility as effective strategies that determine the best freight networks. Based on the conclusions derived from the analytical results for the sample, this article concludes by providing practical recommendations for industry practitioners and outlining the direction of future studies acceptable for increasing the efficiency and sustainability of freight transport, this article presents a comprehensive analytical framework designed to address the intricacies of optimizing freight networks across both ground and air transportation systems. By integrating advanced data analytics, simulation techniques, and performance metrics, this framework provides a robust approach to addressing capacity constraints, operational inefficiencies, and cost variability that often challenge logistics managers. This study undertakes a critical literature review to identify existing methodologies and analyze their limitations, establishing the need for a more integrated, multi-modal optimization approach. Through two real-world case studies, the proposed framework is tested across diverse freight sectors, highlighting the impact of optimization strategies on key performance indicators such as delivery time, cost reduction, and capacity utilization. Key challenges are examined, including sustainability concerns, regulatory compliance, and technological demands, offering insights into the practical implementation of freight optimization strategies. This paper concludes with actionable recommendations for logistics professionals and suggests avenues for future research that could drive further innovation in freight logistics. Ultimately, this study contributes to advancing freight logistics management by demonstrating a feasible, effective framework that enhances ground and air freight network efficiency.
