Its speed is what puts air freight in a class by itself. Only a few hours of international air transport, can courier time-sensitive products this cross is shipped on. Air freight is whisked along even more quickly by high-tech cargo handling systems and onboard real-time tracking, thus businesses can keep track of their consignments from start to finish. This velocity and efficiency are the lifeblood of such industries as technology, health care and fashion, where being faster than the competition can give you a vital edge.

Because the shipping container has a large capacity, businesses can ship goods in such quantity at lower per-unit cost compared to other modes of transport. This economic advantage is critical for manufacturing, construction, retail and other industries in which a penny saved in shipping costs means a penny earned in profits. Furthermore, that products may be delivered over great distances at sea without danger of being lost, makes sea transport even more worthwhile.

Both air and sea freight offer an international reach not found in other modes: connecting businesses with global markets. Whether businesses can grow their operations on a global scale is directly affected by this connection over the ocean or through air traffic routes; without it, they're really no progress at all. Being connected like this is a requirement for technology to take off. And in this case, nothing can stop that from happening - not even economic problems with quickly spiraling negative consequences. In addition, air and sea freight - did I mention this before? - is more environmentally friendly compared to road and rail. With a reduced carbon footprint as its side effect, air and sea freight becomes the choice for businesses wishing to incorporate sustainability in their supply chain. It displays a commitment to the environment whilst maintaining efficient transportation standards that are also reliable at any time of day, whatever happens with other forms of international order but especially in situations requiring help in emergencies such as typhoons now hitting Japan or Indonesia.
