Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

firm Eddie Stobart announced in March that it had bought Carlisle Airport, commentators starting talking about air freight being the next area for established transport firms to branch out into.

Trevor Whelan, transport policy manager in London for the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, says Stobart's parent company is the first to move into owning an airport and it will be a natural progression for it to move into air freight.

In fact, the company confirmed that it would be moving into air freight within the next two years.

Whelan comments: "Stobarts now has an interest in rail freight and is moving into aviation, so it is now spreading out the tentacles."
