Regulations and Formalities 
Shipping is subjected to many international regulations. It has to 
follow all the national customs and formalities without which the goods 
cannot be loaded or unloaded into the ship. 
Inspite of the above, disadvantages the water transport has made 
international trade possible. The cheapness of this transport is of immense help 
in the transportation of low grade, bulky goods to far off places. 
Air Transport 
Air transport is the most modern, the quickest and latest addition to the 
modes of transport. Owing to the speed with which aeroplanes fly, travel by 
Air has become increasingly popular. 
Advantages of Air Transport 
1.
 
Faster Delivery of Goods 
Air Transport ensures faster delivery of goods in comparison to 
other modes of transport. Mail, newspaper, medical supplies, perishable 
goods etc., can be speedily delivered by air transport. Since air transport 
adopts the direct and shortest route for carrying goods by flying over 
seas, deserts, forests, mountains etc., faster delivery is possible. 
2.
 
Economise Expenses 
Air transport economises the warehousing expenses as the goods 
are obtained just before their requirements. Instead of purchasing goods 
in large quantities and storing them, small consignments may be obtained 
whenever they are required. Thus, there is a possibility for avoiding the 
warehousing expenses and incidental expenses such as packaging, 
insurance, etc., which are also less when compared to other modes of 
transport.

Investment in Construction 
Railway track, road or canal construction involves huge 
investment. No such expenditure is required in laying a route for the 
flights in air transport.
