Assessing the cost competitiveness of a cargo airship for freight re-supply in isolated regions in northern Canada
The East Side of Lake Winnipeg, North Western Ontario, and the Kivalliq region in Central Nunavut are selected as case regions in which the cost competitiveness of the cargo airship can be estimated. Data from the North West Company that describes freight movements and associated costs are used in t...
