2. Nowadays, there are many means of transport to travel around the world
such as train, ship ,car, airplane, ect . Almost all people choose airplane.
But in fact, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, I like to emphosize the fact that I love travelling by plane.
In my opinion is the fastest and safest way to travel.
When you want to travel long distances ,the plane is the ideal means of
transport . Moreover , you will have the chance to admire some of the
most beautiful momenths.

3. Advantages
1. High Speed:
It is the fast speed means of transport. Passengers and goods can be transported
easily from one place to the other.
2. Minimum Cost:
Unlike railways and road transport, there is no need to spend money on the
construction of any track or road, only airports have to be constructed.
3. Strategic Importance:
An airway has great strategic importance. It can be used for internal and external
security.
4. Easy transport of costly and light goods:
It is quite convenient to send costly, light and perishable goods through air
transport.

4. 5. Free from physical barriers:
Air transport is free from physical barriers like river, mountains and
valleys etc.
6. Useful for Agriculture:
Air transport is useful for aerial spray on pests and insects which cause
harm to crops.
7. Useful in natural calamities:
During earth quake, flood, accidents
and famine air transport is used for
rescue operations.

5. Disadvantages
1. High Costs:
Air transport is a costly service. Its operational costs are too high.
Middle class and poor people can not affect its cash.
2. More Risks:
Air transport is prone to accidents. A small mistake can be very
dangerous for passengers. Hijacking of planes is easily possible.
3. Huge Investments:
For creating aviation facilities, huge investments are required. The cost
of aero planes, construction and maintenance of aerodromes and control
mechanism needs a capital expenditure.
