Is Aviation suitable for the transportation of all goods?
-Small stuffed toys for kids
-Light jewellery
Whereas aviation isn't as good for products such as:
-Furniture
-Canned foods
Canned foods might seem to be light because they are usually in a little can, but imagine 1000 canned foods on a plane, it would be very heavy since can is aluminium. So for these heavy items cargo ship shipping would be easy (as I said before).
