The invention of planes would later allow easier trade and delivery around the country. In an article by Annamarie Edelen, she states that in 1917 the United States started transporting mail by plane. (Edelen) This made transportation much easier from coast to coast. In addition to this, when mail started being delivered by plane, businesses were then able to receive and ship their products faster. Because things were now being shipped by air, shipment times were greatly reduced. In the same article, Edelen also states that in 1917 planes transporting mail saved 22 hours in delivery from one coast to the other. (Edelen) This is a major improvement from automobiles and trains. Planes also had a major impact on international trade. In an article called “Why Planes Are Taking Over Global Trade”, Tim Fernholz said “about one-third of US imports by value entered the country on a plane.” (Fernholz) This number is still rising. He also stated that from 1965 to 2004 air cargo grew about 2.6 times faster than ocean cargo. (Fernholz) International transportation using planes is growing faster than any other method. This is because of the time it takes for the product to be shipped. The invention of the plane has decreased the time it takes for people to buy and trade items. This aspect has impacted American culture more than

Yet when the United States becomes an automobile-less society this would no longer be the case. No longer could one drive an hour down the road to visit family by impulse, it would require planning for tickets and other fees.

People travel to other countries for both business and leisure purposes, leading to 7% increment in air travel per year.

This leads to a growth in business travel due to the global involvement of companies in terms of investments, production chain, supply and customers. Thus, the participation of air transport in facilitating the world trade is prodigious. Aviation implements another economic benefit of the air transport by providing consumer welfare to individuals while considering the environmental brunt such as the air quality, congestion and noise in the proximity of airports. Air transport being highly demanding has doubled the passenger numbers since the 1980s and over the last decade, it has increased by 45%. The huge growth and development of the aviation field has benefitted in heaps regarding
