Abstract	Air cargo export handling influences the cargo transportation speed. The Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) and homogeneous Markov chain (MC) were used in modeling the air cargo export handling system for performance analysis. The system capability was evaluated including steady probability, operation efficiency and system delay time. Taking a Chinese international air cargo terminal as research object, the capability of the system was analyzed. According to the calculation, system bottlenecks are forklifts usage, bulk cargo acceptance, security inspection, decompose and combination. Some advices were given to improve the handling system capability. If the bottlenecks are optimized, the system efficiency could increase 40%.
