Abstract While it is widely acknowledged that airport re-organisation from destination to dedicated airline group terminals makes passenger travel more seamless, more efficient and also more profitable for both airlines and airports, there is little known about the impacts of such change on freight and in particular belly-hold cargo chains. Our analysis includes data from all airports in Australia but focuses primarily on the proposed re-organisation of Sydney Kingsford Smith airport. This paper reveals a significant relationship between international freight volumes, terminal organisation and freighter operations. However, our interview results only confirm the volume/aircraft type relationship. The paper aims to contribute to the general discussion on the impact of passenger terminal organisation on belly-hold freight operations and more specifically to the consultation process around airport master planning.

    Highlights We show a correlation between terminal organisation, international freight volumes and freighter operations. Airline group terminal organisation makes passenger and also freight transport more efficient. Belly-hold freight chains are hardly affected by terminal organisation. Freight market demand and yields are key determinants of freighter operations. Proposed Sydney airport terminal re-organisation will result in net benefits for freight.
