In our business we spend a lot of time working out how to keep things cool.

Ever since the earliest times there has been the challange of moving goods safely to market and to consumers via trade routes that were vital to sustaining the ancient empires.

Among the first goods transported by air were perishable products including fruit, flowers and vegetables. These products are perishable and therefore vulnerable to extremes of temperature, high humidity and susceptible to damage, necessitating careful transportation.

What precautions do I need to take when transporting wet cargo by air
If liquid escapes from air cargo into the aircraft fuselage, then there is a risk of damage, including over the longer term of corrosion. Corrosion has been identified as the cause of some aircraft failures that have resulted in loss of life.
In this article I highlight the best practices for managing and containing situations where there is risk of liquids being discharged during transit on an airplane. There is also an interesting case study where an airline is handling wet cargo which is causing serious corrosion in the body of the aircraft.

Challenges faced when transporting animals by air
To reduce stress on animals that need transportation, it is vital that journeys times are kept as short as possible.
Therefore transport by air is the only viable transport option over long distances.
