Cargo in Alaska
I was looking at cargo/freight rates in Alaska and I was wondering how they make any money up there as their rates seem to be bare bones commodity rates. Example, 77 cents a pound to fly a distance of 330 sm. Are they flying fully loaded B737’s? Fedex and UPS offer their overnight services on similar routes and are charging $6-8 a pound. With such a price discrepancy do people just go to the airport to pickup their own freight?
