' - the book offers interesting insights into current issues such as the respective advantages of cargo airliners (Boeing 777F versus Boeing 747-8F) or industry trends (potential differences in strategic objectives between Cargolux and Qatar Airways).' Luxemburger Wort, online, 8 June 2012

'As a long-time student of the industry myself, especially concerned with the furtherance of education and training, I am appreciative of Dr. Morrell's well-deserved reputation for sound scholarship. Particularly commendable is the unusually comprehensive breadth of subjects he so ably tackles in this single volume as he examines the industry in light of continuing and significant challenges.' Jim Edgar, Boeing Regional Cargo Marketing Director and Chair, Education & Research Committee of The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) 'Air cargo deserves far greater recognition of its role in the profitability of airlines, and in the global distribution of goods and the spread of the benefits of globalization. A book such as Moving Boxes by Air is therefore a highly welcome addition to the published material covering this aspect of the industry, and provides a fresh analysis and insights. It includes a good overview of the market (customers, commodities and suppliers), of the state of the industry, and of the key issues faced. It is especially relevant to see a balanced chapter on air cargo and the environment, as this topic is still relatively unexplored.'
