Cargo
Has there been a sudden upsurge in the air freight business recently? Watching the Kalitta Air flight at Heathrow recently piqued my curiosity. I had never previously noticed a cargo flight to Cincinnati. A day or two later, DHL flew Heathrow to Cincinnati and today I discovered that BA flew 2 of their 777s to San Francisco as pure cargo flights on March 23rd. The next day, they sent another 3 cargo only flights again to San Francisco, followed on March 25th by 2 more. Not only that, they used one of their brand new A321NEO to operate a cargo only flight to Frankfurt and a 787-9 to do the same to Delhi. Where did all this cargo suddenly come from?
