Some airlines around the world have resorted to removing passenger seats on airplanes and using the available spaces in air cargo operations with a record decrease in travel traffic and an increase in the demand for air cargo.
In compliance with regulatory directives or operational requirements issued by governments and authorities around the world to counter the spread of the new Corona virus (COFED-19), airlines around the world have had to cancel thousands of flights, which has affected freight volume as well.
Wide-bodied passenger aircraft provide cargo capacity of dozens of tons in the lower cargo hold, but for the time being some companies are seeking to take advantage of the space available in the passenger cabin.
The International Air Transport Association "IATA" and its members renewed their call for urgent intervention by governments in order to ensure the continuity of the continuity of the work of the air freight supply lines in a manner that maintains their efficiency and effectiveness.
