In a new world living abreast the virus combined with travel\nrestrictions, industries must adapt and adjust to new conditions if they intend\nto stay afloat. With that in mind, airplanes are now converting passenger seats\ninto space to carry cargo across seas as a response to the increase of air\ncargo demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align:justify\">The sudden upsurge for urgent cargo deliveries,\nparticularly for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has salvaged the dwindling\nairline industry. However, this brings attention to the question &ndash; will air\nfreight surpass sea freight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align:justify\">Although supply chain channels are shifting to\naccommodate the new norms for logistics, shipping freight will remain as the\npredominant cargo transport source. Naturally, sea freight takes longer to move\ngoods, but it allows the transport of substantially higher container volumes,\nachieving economies of scale. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the goods\nsuch as general cargo or livestock, the only form of transport is via vessels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align:justify\">Depending on what customers value, whether it\nis time or reliability, which contribute to the overall customer satisfaction,\nthen choosing an air freight service will be the viable mode of transport. In\ncontrast, if price and load capacity is the top objective, then shipping poses\nas a more cost-effective alternative. Undoubtedly, global logistics is changing\nand will continue to experience shifts as it tries to establish a stable\nactivity stream.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The airline industry has confronted a plethora of challenges since the onset of the global pandemic, even declaring airline bankruptcies.
