Parallel developments
Article Abstract:
The global express freight market is projected to grow annually by 17%, accounting for 36% of the total global air cargo market by 2017. The trend has spurred airlines and air freight forwarders to offer services similar to those being provided by integrated carriers such as DHL, Federal Express and Emery Worldwide. As a result, airports and ocean ports have developed facilities to be able to accomodate all types of cargoes to protect their share of the growing market.
