For freighters, business is booming

For once, freighters are where the money is. For the time being.

Prices are skyrocketing, rising from 2$ per kg to 10 in a matter of days.
Full loads to and from the Far East, same story North Atlantic.

Crews moved from city hotels to near-deserted beach hotels. Emergency rations in their overnight bag, because food availability is not guaranteed.

Some airlines even 'intern' their crews in hotels at homebase, to avoid them from getting sick while home.
