The process of market globalization has almost no borders. Nowadays it is common to have suppliers and buyers anywhere in the world. The movement of goods of all kinds is constant and occurs on a daily basis to meet customer demand.

The Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport in Spain is a common point of departure and arrival of passengers and goods transported by large cargo planes. Air transport is the fastest way to export or import goods across the Atlantic Ocean. It competes with maritime transport, which is slower but also more economical.

Every year, Madrid airport is a point of origin, destination, and stopover for thousands of cargo flights. The airport handles more than half a million tons of cargo every year. Barajas also serves as a refueling point for planes flying from the Middle East to America and vice versa. The most important American countries of origin or destination that connect with Europe are:
