Moreover, air transport of food has now become a major resource of incomesfor air companies. In the past, air companies’ business mainly came from servingpassengers. However, facing an increasingly tough market, air companies need toexpand their share of market to serve a wider range of customers in order tostay in the game and make a profit. With a booming economy and more money tospend, people create a great potential for food transport business and goodmargin for air companies.
In spite of such benefits, air transport is not free of problems. One majorissue is high cost. Air transport is probably the most expensive way oftransport. Higher costs entail high prices, which in turn deprive people withless money the opportunities to enjoy such privileges. So air transported foodis now for the rich, a fact that is unfair for poor people.
In addition, it is not the best option to solve problems by transportingfood from outside for places where certain kinds of fruits does not grow. Themost optimal way, it seems to me, is that we should change the environmentrequired by such plants using scientific and biological methods such as creatingsuitable soil and temperature. Such solutions will be proven to be ultimatelycost-effective and fundamental.
