Demand for medical equipment is making air cargo fees ‘crazy’
I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't chartered flights go down in cost now that there are lots of airlines with planes, costs, competition, and virtually no passenger demand?I realize passenger and cargo planes are different, but probably don't understand just how different in terms of effort/cost of adapting passenger planes to haul cargo primarily vs passengers and what the typical revenue is for a given flight (total revenue for passenger tickets). Even if it makes any economical sense to repurpose existing passenger jets for supplies unless of in dire need (which this may be the case for).
