I sure do not know the correct answer. Take a look at the nations voting for and against the shipping ban, then consider who manufactures the stuff and who consumes a lot of it. I think I'd favor sea shipping, but I still need more detail. A very difficult question and yes, there is a Lot Of Money at stake.
It may be a bit too easy to ban these items from PAX flights, but what about cargo-only flights? Since when are two - four lives less important - even disposable - than a few hundred fare-paid pax? IMO, the Freight Dogs also have value and the numbers simply do not mater.
Again, why not restrict this cargo class to ocean freight. With proper scheduling, where is the rush that demands Air Freight? what am I missing?
