Question

How is air transport superior to water transport?

Answer 1

1. Speed of Transport: Air transport is the quickest due to its high speed and shorter routes. Water transport is the slowest.
2. Flexibility of service: Air and water services are similarly rigid. Both offer transport between specified points.
3. Availability: Airports are available in all states, including hilly areas, but water ports are only available in a few locations.
4. Safety: Airways provide greater safety and protection for commodities than waterways. Water transport poses a considerable risk of pilferage and degradation.
