Industry observers expect for demand to be much greater in 2007 and beyond, as more manufacturers use the more costly form of transport for higher-value items such as consumer electronics. Both industrial and commercial changes are occurring throughout the world, as is the regulatory environment in the face of continuing terrorism threats and increased use of passenger planes for cargo transport.
