I don’t disagree with you but the freight operators are not short of work right now. Half the Antonov fleet being grounded doesn’t help as regards short notice heavy-lift charters. I was more talking about belly loading on passenger aircraft, not dedicated freighters. And again, getting enough pods capable of keeping billions of vaccines at minus 80c is an issue.
