Sea-Air Service is a transportation option that presents a link between air and sea transportation. It attempts to combine the advantages of air transport with sea transport.
Brief description
The most common such transport solution is for imports from Asia. The goods are transported with the help of a ship to an airport in the Middle East, and from there they are transported to European airports with the help of airplanes. The advantage of this service is a shorter transport time than if only using a ship, however, costs are increased. In the international transport market, Sea-Air Service plays only a side role.
