Abstract: Abstract The large mass of goods can be transported efficiently by sea or land. Compared to these modes of transport, the airplane occupies only a small niche. Air freight accounts for just 1% of the volume transported worldwide. On the other hand, according to IATA, it represents 35% of the total value of goods transported (Shepherd B, Shingal A, Raj A, Value of air cargo. Air transport and global value chains. Hg. v. IATA. Montreal. https://www.iata.org/publications/economic-briefings/value-of-air-cargo-2016-report.pdf , 2016).
