global transport

As the world becomes increasingly connected, it becomes more and more important to have efficient and safe transport systems in place. Not only is this necessary for businesses and individuals alike, but it’s also essential for the environment. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities that arise with global transport systems. We will also explore some ways that you can take advantage of these systems to make your life easier and your planet healthier.

Air transportation

Air transportation or air shipping accounts for a small percentage of global traffic, but its growth is outpacing that of other modes.


The use of air travel has increased rapidly over the past few decades. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reports that in 2016, 1.7 trillion passengers were transported by air, an increase of 3.2 percent from 2015 and the fastest growth rate since 2007. This trend is expected to continue as economic development continues to spread around the world and people become more mobile.

In terms of volume, air travel dominates global transport statistics. In 2016, it accounted for 81 percent of total passenger kilometers traveled (PK). This compares with just 18 percent for rail and 5 percent for road traffic. However, despite its dominance, air travel has seen growing competition from other modes. In 2016, passenger rail transportation grew by 2.5 percent while road traffic grew by only 0.8 percentu2014lower than both the global average (1.5%) and the rate seen in 2010 (2%).

There are a number of reasons why air travel is growing faster than other modes:
- Air travel is more comfortable and convenient than many other forms of transportation
- It's quick and easy to get from one place to another
- There are many options available when it comes to airlines and destinations
- Airports are widely dispersed around the world facilitating international travel
