The Impact of COVID-19 on the Passenger to Freight Conversion Market
The pandemic had a significant impact on the aviation industry, forcing many to think quickly and adapt. With the halt in commercial aviation, there was a loss of capacity for freighters, while the demand for cargo increased due to online shopping and the need for personal protective equipment. This highlighted the necessity for support in global goods shipment and boosted the demand for passenger to freight conversions. The speaker, Chris Sutter, explains that there was a shift from passenger-focused cabins to freighters as a response to the changing market.
