Abstract: The research aims to solve operation problems of an air cargo forwarder that has to manage allotment contracts with several airlines for their single-leg air shipments. An example of a typical international freight forwarder is used to illustrate the air cargo loading management problem. The forwarder makes the bookings in terms of Unit Load Devices (ULDs). In this research, two models were proposed in order to implement air cargo loading management systems for the forwarder ; the first is air cargo 3D packing model, and the second model is air shipment assignment model. Air cargo 3D packing model addresses loading shipments of multiple-sizes and released dates into ULDs in order to minimize unused space of ULDs. The model considers overlapping problem, practical position of cartons, cargo priority, weight limitation and other commitments stated by the forwarder. Air shipment assignment model aims to assign shipments among contracted airlines with transportation cost formed as piecewise function. Computational results are provided to demonstrate the performance and limitation of both models. To be able to handle large number of shipments, the relaxed approach for solving the loading model was also proposed. The research distinguishes well from previous studies for combination of two models under a set of constraints not only to assure committed service level to their customers but also to improve cargo operation performance at the forwarder
