Occasional Paper 87tonne-kilometre basis. This decline occurred despite an increasethe amount of cargo carried by these aircraft.inThe data in Tables 5.1 and 5.2 indicate that the amount of cargocarried by Ansett increased significantly over the period whileAustralian's traffic fell. These figures probably provide areasonable indication of the distribution of traffic carried by thetwo trunk airlines' aircraft. However,a significant proportion ofthe traffic handled by Australian is now carried in aircraft operatedby IPEC. The published figures therefore underestimate the proportionof trunk traffic that is handled by Australian. A market share ofmore than 50 per cent on trunk routes has been claimed by Australian,although ATI's regional operations give AAF the largest share of thetotal airl ine market.There are significant differences in the structure and scope of thetwo airli'nes' cargo operations. Australian is essentially a linehauloperator which a1 so provides door-to-door services by sub-contractingpick-up and delivery functions to other companies. In contrast, AAFprovides the complete door-to-door service itself and earnsa largeproportion of its revenue from this market. It also competes directlywith other forwarders. AAF handles the air cargo activities of Ansettand ATI's regional airline divisions.The third largest carrier of air cargo on scheduled airline servicesin 1985-86 was IPEC. This company was solely a charter operator untilMarch 1982 when it comnenced airline operations. Traffic on itsairline services grew rapidly and accounted for15 per cent ofdomestic airline cargo movements on a weight basis and 10 per cent interms of tonne-kilometres in 1985-86. A major factor in thisexpansion was the negotiation of the contract with Australian.Regional airl inesThe proportion of total cargo carried by the regional airlinesdeclined from 7 per cent in 1981-82 to 4 per cent in 1985-86 in termsof both tonnes and tonne-kilometres.The overall decline in regional airline cargo reflects severalinfluences including carriers' concentration on passenger traffic, thereplacement of many regional airline services by commuter operations,increased competition from road transport operators and the economicsituation in rural comnunities. For example, improvements to the roadsystem in New South Wales have encouraged shippers and freightforwarders to expand the use of road transport services to countrycentres from Sydney, with consequent effects on air services.
