Before the airplane, it was very difficult for businesses to operate on an international basis because their representatives couldn't conduct important business deals in person(“ how did the airplane”). Now, the airplane has made it possible for business representatives to visit foreign countries and conduct their business abroad. trade with farther countries was not possible before the invention of airplanes, but because of airplanes international trade is available. another way the airplane has influenced commerce and trade is a more globalized
