How Airlines Fly Cars, Sharks And Other Goods Under Passengers
When the pandemic hit in early 2020, air travel came to a near halt. By April, more than half of the world’s passenger jets were parked. Those 16,000 planes also carry roughly half of the world’s air cargo, over 52 million metric tons of goods every year.
Cargo is typically only a small percentage of airline revenue, but it became a lifeline for Alaska Airlines, American, United and others as passengers stayed home under lockdown orders.
The air cargo market boomed and prices soared as consumers turned to e-commerce giants like Amazon to shop from home. Amazon sales surged 44% in Q1 2021 compared to 2020. Cargo’s share in total airline revenue almost quadrupled between 2016 and 2021.
In response, the world’s two biggest plane manufacturers started making cargo-only versions of their newest wide-body aircraft: the Boeing 777x and the Airbus A350. Boeing’s freight plane sales hit a new record in 2021 and expects an 80% increase in the global freighter fleet through 2041.
But as the global economy slows, is this growth in air cargo sustainable? Watch the video to learn more.

My son in law does engineering for passenger plane conversions. He said it is a real huge market.

I IMAGINE PIRACY OF THESE AIRCRAFT IS MORE CHALLENGING THAN A OCEAN GOING SHIP, BUT WHAT ABOUT BEING DESTROYED BY A SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE? WOULD THAT BE A RAPID DEATH WITH EXTREMELY BRIEF BUT INTENSE PAIN?

The ancient Venetians of Italy did this on wooden sailing ships before the industrial revolution. I estimate between 1/3 to 2/3 of the Venetian traders died at sea or were murdered and robbed by their business partners and buried under the soil of countries such as India. The 1/3 that made it home became fabulously wealthy and Venice became and international trading and banking powerhouse. Why did this trading empire end? LOSS OF TRADE AND A SERIES OF WARS!

Is it impossible to determine and plot supply and demand functions in order to maximize profits through having marginal revenue equal marginal cost with 100.00 percent accuracy?

Have you seen the film "Cocaine Cowboys"? Criminal networks in the 1970's and 1980's were shipping dope in private aircraft without the knowledge and consent of the military or politicians illegally! The made billions of dollars working for about 5 years before the Department of Justice put an end to that!

I used to be a ramp agent for Delta. And yeah we had all sorts of cargo. Anything from Caskets, little chicks, dogs, alot of postal mail too. 1 time a box of the chicks busted during flight so second we opened the belly of the plane we had little chicks running all over the place. Haha.

At $18 per pound, it would cost $4500 to fly my 200 pound ass and my 50 pound bag, if we were cargo. Can't say I blame them.

Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)❤️😁❤️😋❤️

I used to work in cargo. Everyday you would get dead bodies also body parts. Anything you can think of is shipped under the plane. Kinda wanna go back it was a fun job. At times lol

@0:13 "They carry roughly half of the worlds' air cargo". Please clarify what other transportation branch carries the other 50% of air cargo?

December 26, 2023 at 6:06 am
Now everyone definitively knows why it costs a crazy extra amount when your bag is 2 pounds over the ever shrinking luggage weight limit. As always follow the money and you will know the truth.

Greyhound Buses used to ship freight in the bays of their buses. And civilian/consumers could use it! Very cheap and took bigger items than Fedex. Just got recently stopped sadly.
@paulblichmann2791
December 26, 2023 at 6:06 am
$49 for a suitcase…contents of which would not even cost $49! I knew from the start of the decline of airlines, they must be doing something in the bays.
