Air transport can offer a range of benefits when exporting goods but when liquids such as dangerous chemicals are involved this presents a number of issues. Traditional packaging may not be strong enough, secure enough or lack the appropriate certification making them unsuitable for stresses of flight, rapid changes in air pressure and aeroplane storage conditions.
