Don't shoot me, but I get the feeling this terrorist attack will lead to an upswing.
As Guv mentioned, an embargo on pax aircraft belly freight is a possibility. Rate rises have been mooted for some time now. And finally, loads are back to normal after a miserable summer.
And if anything happens in the middle east, there will be plently of work around for freighters.
During the Gulf War, we did charter after charter, earning a packet in the process.
An Atlas colleague told me that they'd "unparked" all their 742s.
