freight is booming out of China. Week ago had a yank who couldn't find a freighter to fly PPE from China to USA(typical yank, he'd only tried U.S. companies). Found one owned by a UK outfit that could do it at reasonable cost. It was a pax aircraft with all the seats ripped out. Sounds like lots of "freighters" going into China light or empty, coming out heavy. Wonder why Australian exporters aren't getting onto this.
Someone in China is making a lot of money out of PPE.
