Commonly employed for high value or highly perishable products, air cargo transport is increasingly used as more individuals and businesses purchase products on-line and expect delivery in a very short period of time. Modal mix is becoming more common as supply chain and logistics managers juggle choices to fulfill the expectations of the beneficial cargo owners (BCO). Sea-air services are expanding which combine the cost value of maritime transport with the higher speeds of air services and a lower environmental footprint when time permits.
