A mixed wholesale-option-contract to fix the demand imbalance between substitutable air cargo routes: A cooperative game approach

作者：

Highlights：

• The demand imbalance between the air cargo hot-selling and underutilized routes is studied.

• Advantage of wholesale and option contracts are taken.

• A sequential cooperative game is performed using a mixed wholesale-option contract.

• We compared solution of the mixed contract with the pure-wholesale and option contracts.

• The results show that the mixed contract gives the best capacity allocation mechanism.
