What happens to commercial aircraft not flying
Amidst the pandemic, how do airlines manage their fleet
As can be seen in the photo above, Lufthansa didn’t bother to remove the seats when converting one aircraft to a freighter. The overhead bins also contained smaller, lighter packages. Aer Lingus and LOT are amongst the passenger carriers utilising their aircraft for cargo, mainly collection of vital medical supplies from China. Dedicated cargo airlines such as UPS, FedEx, Cargolux and DHL usually operate at night. Over the past few weeks, many more are visible on day operations.
