"The speed of delivery that air freight can offer is an increasingly important factor for many modern businesses, especially where just-in-time practices and high value commodities are concerned…specialist express carriers could account for over 50 per cent of the air freight market by 2030. The ability to meet the world-wide rapid delivery and logistics requirements of modern businesses is an important factor in assuring the future competitiveness of both the UK and regional economies."
