According to the report, the volume of air cargo transportation in 2020 decreased by more than 37.2%. This has led to a reduction in the number of involved cargo aircraft to 22.6%. Just imagine - now about one of the four cargo planes is taking off into the air, and all the rest are laid up. This situation was also caused by difficulties with logistics, which rests on quarantine measures.

Freight operators have found a way out in filling passenger areas with cargo on ordinary commercial liners. By the way, charter flights do not allow the use of aircraft usable area, since they are not transparent for logistics. This year, according to Reportlinker, the transportation of goods by passenger aircraft will take away about $ 15.5 million from cargo airlines. For obvious reasons, transportation by liners will cost significantly more than transportation by large cargo vessels, which can lift up to 130 tons of cargo at a time.

Finally, the restriction of air traffic and the increased demand for medical cargo allows carriers to raise prices and customers to agree to onerous terms.

This is how capitalism and greed are working. Owners of all this standing cargo liners must be repressed and all fleets turned into public property.
