Airlines boost cargo capacity as demand rebounds
Currently, Emirates SkyCargo's freighters boast some of the industry’s largest cargo capacities, with Boeing 747s capable of carrying over 110 tonnes and Boeing 777s exceeding 100 tonnes per trip.
Airlines have stepped up expansion of their cargo capacity, targeting to cash in on gains of a rebound in freight volumes driven by e-commerce growth, manufacturing recovery, and increased cross-border trade.
A spot check showed that airlines including Kenya Airways (KQ), budget carrier Jambojet, Emirates and Astral have expanded their cargo capacity and routes with an eye on bigger business.
