Air and sea transport power the global
economy. Since the vast majority of trade is physical, it
must travel by plane or ship to reach its market. In fact,
high value, time-sensitive goods usually fly through at
least two airports, and almost every container passes
through at least two seaports. When ports are efficient,
people receive the goods theyre waiting for, sellers receive
payment, and global economic development is strengthened.
