Why is air transportation so important in South America?


    



Show all answers


Mrs. Obama rules!
Air transportation is important all over the world, not just South America. Trade? Tourism? I can give you tons of reasons which will apply to any region of the world.


Obama is a socialist
It shortens the time it takes to get from A to B. It also transports merchandise quickly = For example most of the Roses sold in the US come from Colombia. That couldnt happen without air transport.


ElRober
Because, unlike the US, most of the countries in South America don't have freeways or highways, and if they do they are probably not in good shape (lots of potholes, uneven streets, bumps, traffic).
So flying makes more sense if you're trying to get somewhere fast.


ryssee
Not many rail lines in the countries with all the high mountains!

Because, the Mountains are so high. it would take forever, without air transport.


yaom
they have HUGE andes mountains

enormous jungles

massive swamplands

south america is twice the size of the US with about the same number of people

is underpopulated


Chaco
Rating
Mainly because South American countries are, on average, quite large (Venezuela = France x 2) and their land transport routes are not as developed as other countries. That's why air transport is vital both for business and for passenger traffic.

Large distances.
