Aviation is one of the fundamental pillars of the global economy, contributing to the connection of international markets and facilitating the movement of goods between countries within short periods compared with other modes of transportation. Its importance is particularly evident in transporting products that require rapid delivery, such as medicines, medical equipment, electronic devices, and perishable goods. This enables companies to meet market demands more efficiently. Air transport contributes to strengthening global supply chains by reducing shipping times and accelerating the delivery of raw materials and finished products to manufacturers and consumers. It also helps companies respond to sudden changes in demand and minimize delays in production and distribution, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in international markets. Airports and air cargo hubs play an important role in supporting commercial activities, creating employment opportunities, and stimulating investments related to transportation and logistics services. Despite the higher cost of air freight compared with sea and land transportation in many cases, its speed and reliability make aviation a strategic choice for high-value goods and urgent shipments. With the development of digital technologies and improvements in cargo management, the aviation sector is becoming increasingly capable of supporting international trade and improving the efficiency of supply chains. Therefore, aviation's role extends beyond transporting goods, serving as an important contributor to economic growth and integration among global markets. Assist. Lecturer Al-Boraq Hayder Mohsin
