Book excerpt: This book proposes capacity options as a flexible alternative air cargo contract type, and illustrates how capacity can be priced through option contracts.

A case study using data from a leading German carrier illustrates the financial potential. Finally, the author shows how capacity-option contracts integrate into the context of air cargo revenue management.
