cargo charters

The demand for coronavirus medical supplies is so great that passenger aircraft are being repurposed for cargo service, logistics companies are chartering those airplanes and full freighters, and governments are setting up air pipelines with logistics partners.

Demand to move goods during the pandemic crisis is high, but available air cargo space is low. Passenger airlines are finding a robust market.

It’s not exactly “Extreme Makeover,” but passenger airlines are flipping their planes into cargo haulers. Desperation breeds innovation.
