This paper presents cost effective measures to reduce CO(sub 2) emissions in the air freight sector. One door-to-door transport chain is studied in detail from a Scandinavian city to a city in southern Europe. The transport chain was selected by a group of representatives from the air freight sector in order to encompass general characteristics within the sector. Three different ways of shipping air cargo are studied, i.e., by air freighter, as belly freight (in passenger aircrafts) and trucking. CO(sub 2) emissions are calculated for each part of the transport chain and its relative importance towards the toad amount CO(sub 2) emitted during the whole transport chain is shown. It is confirmed that the most CO(sub 2) emitting part of the transport chain is the actual flight and that it is in the take-off and climbing phases that most fuel are burned. It is also known that the technical development of aircraft implies a reduction in fuel consumption for each new generation of aircraft.
