Air transport has shown humanity how a sector can achieve the unachievable and evolve in a resounding way. Less than 2 centuries ago it was impossible to believe that people could travel to the other part of the globe by air in a short amount of time. It is also extraordinary how this industry allows to send almost all types of goods in record time to any part of the planet. However, this sector has not been exempted from problems, restrictions and accidents, which have caused the loss of thousands of livelihoods. There are many advantages and benefits this sector provides, which goes hand in hand with the process of globalization that modern society is experiencing; the globalized world values time in an impressive manner, and saving time is something this industry allows.
