Air freight costs challenge airplane promise
Air freight costs cited by William Alan Patterson of United Air Lines show trains and ships remain dominant for decades. He notes 1560 tons Chicago to San Francisco round trip costs 50 000 by train and 1 750 000 by plane, while a ship runs 120 000 for Brisbane round trip versus 29 000 000 by plane, arguing plane costs will fall but not enough to supplant rail and sea transport.
