It is possible that transport costs are actually too low, particularly for airfreight, which has a huge environmental impact.
That also helps to spread the stress on the surface network that is a critical part of the distribution of airfreight goods.
The airfreight of relatively low-value items is not justifiable in terms of the environmental impact of the transport mode.
The economic value of a typical airfreight air traffic movement is three to five times more than an equivalent passenger flight.
Long haul and airfreight services represent a gap in our air transport services that inhibits our economic competitiveness.
The company also provides logistical services ranging from international sea and airfreight forwarding to warehousing and distribution.
There is almost no interaction with airfreight, close cooperation with ocean-going freight and a mostly competitive relationship with long distance trucking and barge transport.
Since the 1930s, ocean shipping costs fell by half, airfreight by 85%, and telecommunications by 99%.
