Preaching to the converted

Industry estimates put demand for freighters over the next decade rising to more than 1,000. Over 50% of this will be for high-capacity, 50-plus-metric ton freighters, nearly 30% will come from the small package, 20-to-30-ton payload market. About 25% of the total will be supplied by Boeing and Airb...

description Industry estimates put demand for freighters over the next decade rising to more than 1,000. Over 50% of this will be for high-capacity, 50-plus-metric ton freighters, nearly 30% will come from the small package, 20-to-30-ton payload market. About 25% of the total will be supplied by Boeing and Airbus as manufactured freighter aircraft, the rest will be conversions. So far, conversions have been remarkably successful in matching demand with supply. The growth of air travel means that there is a secondary market for aircraft with potential cargo capacity. These will have low capital costs and a short, but sufficient, life to ensure commercial viability. Furthermore, at a fraction of the price of purpose-built aircraft, the economics of buying converted passenger-to-freighter aircraft is clear.
