Question.
Which are the major regions of the world that have a dense network of airways?
(Class 12 geography, Fundamentals of Human Geography, Chapter-8. Transport and Communication )
Answer.
Air transport is the fastest mode of transport, but also the most expensive mode of transport, which is why it is used by travelers for long-distance travel, especially by wealthy people. It is also used by poor people in case of emergency.
At present, there is no place in the world that is more than 35 hours away. Supersonic aircraft cover the distance between London and New York within three and a half hours of travel.
The following regions of the world have a dense network of airways:
- Eastern USA
- Western Europe
- Southeast Asia
The United States alone uses 60% of the world's air traffic.
The above three areas are densely populated areas with high-income people.
There is a lack of air services to Africa, the Asian part of Russia, and South America. Due to low population, limited terrain, and low economic development, there are limited air services between 10 and 35 latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere.
