        abstract = {With the airline’s cargo business doubling up in the last couple of years, the organization is laying special emphasis on its cargo segment. In the present scenario, the business competition between airlines‟  is  very  high  and all  the  time  it  has  been found  that there  is  a  dearth  of  passenger  load compared  to  the  cargo  load,  where  proper  servicing  from  the  warehouse  to  accommodate  cargo management is poor. The present compensation charges that Jet Airways has to bear on an yearly basis is around Rs. 30 lakhs.  By improving the warehouse efficiency, it  is  aimed  that  the discrepancies of offloading can be plugged and an approximate Rs. 20 lakh to Rs. 30 lakh can be saved.  It  is  expected  that  the  present  unsystematic  operations  of  warehouse  can  be  structured effectively,  improvement  in  the  work  efficiency  can  be  achieved  by  avoiding  the  offloading,  the yearly compensation loss can be stopped resulting in further business enhancement. To gauge the loopholes in the present operational system, a detailed analysis of International Cargo and domestic cargo  was  undertaken  and  the  stage-wise  “CRITICAL  PROBLEMATIC  AREAS    of  the  cargo warehousing functions were identified, with the purpose to solve the said problems on the basis of proposed recommendations. Based on the analysis of CPAs, the outcome of demand analysis was realized by virtue of repositioning the cargo inventory vis-à-vis service.  It was found out that in some of the flights maximum off loadings takes place regularly and in some group of flights there is maximum space wastage on regular basis which ultimately results in loss of business for the airline. A  automated  tracking  system  is  recommended  whereby  it  is  proposed  to  develop  an  integrated online  software  system  enabling  the  agencies  involved  to  have  a  direct  access  with  each  other, resulting in a transparent interchange of data and knowledge on exact status of cargo at each stage, thereby  locating  its  traceability.  The  success  of  this  tracking  system  is  largely  dependent  on  the Bar-Coding  System  of  the  Inventory  software.  The  proposed  results  of  implementing  revised tracking s},
