Abstract:

Air logistics has a significant place in logistic activities as it enables a rapid, punctual, safe and cost effective flow for goods, information and services. This study aims is to analyze papers on air logistics through bibliometrics and provide information about the literature to researchers. In this scope, studies on air logistics are descriptively analyzed and presented with the bibliometric analysis method. Data used in the study is collected through databases such as Web of Science, Scopus and EBSCO to make sure that the study proceeds. Information gathered through data obtained from studies is important because it shows the shortcomings in air logistics literature for researchers. The relevant literature was assessed and new topics and concepts were interpreted by bibliometrics. Findings indicate that the least studied fields in air logistics are; air logistics clustering, global parking in air logistics, air logistics integration, alternative area selection for air cargo, electronical arrangement on air cargo, and others. The bibliometric analysis will be beneficial for the researchers considering working in this field in terms of guiding their studies.
