Airfreight has its advantages over sending goods by sea or land. In the first place, it is faster than rail or road and faster even than pack mules when one takes into account such details as loading time at a big city terminal and transfer points along the line of transit. Some of its advantages include guaranteed safety of your goods and less likelihood than at sea or on highways for loss, theft or damage. Partly because of this, airfreight in transit has real-time monitoring to provide customers with security and peace of mind in receiving their goods. Airfreight also enjoys the benefits of global coverage and access to out-of-the way spots on a world scale. That is something which other forms of transportation simply — literally — cannot match. Such flexibility has meant for businesses cost-effective solutions to reduce inventory holding costs (because they can order at long lead times), improved customer relations through faster deliveries and rapid response time to market signals.
