Belly Cargo vs. Dedicated Freighter Networks

Global air logistics relies on two complementary networks: passenger aircraft carrying freight in their lower bellies, and widebody dedicated cargo freighters. Understanding their operational differences is vital for effective cargo routing.

The Frequency of Passenger Bellies

Passenger aircraft offer exceptional flight frequency and route coverage, though hold height limitations require strict adherence to standard ULD profiles.

The Heavy-Lifting Power of Freighters

Dedicated freighters provide main-deck volume essential for out-of-gauge industrial machinery and restricted shipments.
