Importance of Air Freight Transporation. Air freight transportation has assumed an increasingly vital role in the domestic and international transportation network. National defense has a stake in air freight development. This has been noticeable within the past several years. Military officials have stated from time to time that airlift facilities which would be required in emergencies cannot be acquired and maintained by the Military Air Transport Service in peace and that the solution lies in commercial operations of long range freight aircraft.
