How Airlines Fly Cars, Sharks And Other Goods Under Passengers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- When the pandemic hit in early 2020, air travel came to a near halt. By April, more than half of the world’s passenger jets were parked. Those 16,000 planes also carry roughly half of the world’s air cargo, over 52 million metric tons of goods every year.
Cargo is typically only a small percentage of airline revenue, but it became a lifeline for Alaska Airlines, American, United and others as passengers stayed home under lockdown orders.
The air cargo market boomed and prices soared as consumers turned to e-commerce giants like Amazon to shop from home. Amazon sales surged 44% in Q1 2021 compared to 2020. Cargo’s share in total airline revenue almost quadrupled between 2016 and 2021.
In response, the world’s two biggest plane manufacturers started making cargo-only versions of their newest wide-body aircraft: the Boeing 777x and the Airbus A350. Boeing’s freight plane sales hit a new record in 2021 and expects an 80% increase in the global freighter fleet through 2041.
But as the global economy slows, is this growth in air cargo sustainable? Watch the video to learn more.

How Airlines Fly Cars, Sharks And Other Goods Under Passengers
I used to be a ramp agent for Delta. And yeah we had all sorts of cargo. Anything from Caskets, little chicks, dogs, alot of postal mail too. 1 time a box of the chicks busted during flight so second we opened the belly of the plane we had little chicks running all over the place. Haha.
Nah why did you put a period before haha
I work for a passenger airline. We have cargo
15% of your revenue is not a small percentage - especially when it makes a better margin than other revenue streams. Cargo has been and always will be a great source of income for airlines.
Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)❤️😁❤️😋❤️
Most of the time it's been like a bonus for them. With just the first class cabin an airline will usually make all of their money back on the flight. Making business, economy and cargo all bonus in their pocket.
@@look92vean98 Yah, Business and 1st account for 75% of airlines profits.

*shows an orangutan*
That’s a fruit
From what I read, they bought back some aircraft that burned fuel like crazy since fuel prices were super low and cargo freight skyrocketed
*_It's high speed trains 🚅 🚄 🚆 era not cargo airplanes. Globalwarming Climatechanges_*
Things have changed over the years but fuel efficiency of freighters doesn’t matter nearly as much. UPS can fly a MD-11 (something that passenger airlines retired a long time ago) from Atlanta to Louisville and back. That’s about 3 hours of total flight time, 5 days a week. The extra fuel doesn’t really add up when you consider that a more fuel efficient replacement is $200-300 million at list price.
@@spades9048 once things got back to normal, some of those companies put those aircraft back in storage, or retired them

Air cargo helped. But that bailout helped more..
"How American Taxpayers Kept American Airlines and Others Afloat During The Pandemic". There fixed that title for you.
Glad I'm not the only one!
Taxpayers are probably keeping you afloat right now.
Eeyup. Airlines, the auto industry, the list just goes on.
That’s literally what taxes are for🤷🏿♂️. To keep the economy running.
You realise the world is bigger than America right? SMH
fun fact, British airways from LHR to DEN and back make profit off of the cargo itself, the passengers are just a lil bonus
Did anybody ask? Didn't think so. Fun fact... meet cruel reality...

Greyhound Buses used to ship freight in the bays of their buses. And civilian/consumers could use it! Very cheap and took bigger items than Fedex. Just got recently stopped sadly.
Yes to this and I am uncertain why this isn't more widely utilized as one does not have to be aboard. Buses run a schedule and can be tracked online.

Thank you for your hard working ,well done
With the planes we manufacture America will dominate the international cargo business!!!
My son in law does engineering for passenger plane conversions. He said it is a real huge market.
When you survive a emergency landing on the atlantic but eaten up by the sharks in your cargo area.
For decades, Boeing designed air cargo operations into every series for conversion while Airbus is just discovering aircraft conversion.
Even the 747 were also designed for cargo just in case supersonic flight is the future of air travel
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 The 747 was originally designed as Cargo Plane and only modified for Passenger Transport instead after the US Air Force picked the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy instead, because it needs less Infrastructure for Loading. The iconic Hump of the 747 allowed a large Cargo Door in the Front, with Cockpit and Aircon Unit above the Cargo Hold and not taking up Space there. PanAm saved the 747 when they realised, that that Hump could be turned into an exclusive First Class Cabin.
it’s unfortunate the a380 can’t be a cargo plane
@@rock5454 it will be

I Love watching this Video Topic on Cargo Only Flights also I can see the Older Boeing 737-800's,757's,767's & 777's Operating on Cargo Only Flights for UPS,Amerijet International,FedEx and many Others Awesome Video!!!!
CNBC often makes videos unnecessary long. This is a good example. All the talking points easily could have been covered in 10 minutes.
I used to work in cargo. Everyday you would get dead bodies also body parts. Anything you can think of is shipped under the plane. Kinda wanna go back it was a fun job. At times lol
The pings in the background music are incredibly annoying
Ay a video about my job! Pays so well for the amount of work i do.
Wendover Productions about to delay the release of their next video, lol! (love wendover!) CNBC YT - always very educational, I always learn something new and the journalism really shines in a world full of youtubers reading back "googled" researched results with little insight.
CNBC has nothing on Wendover
@@NatanLawson 🤣
Lol, Wendover is way more well researched than most RUclipsrs and their content is definitely up there with big box journalism. Plus they focus on stories and topics bigger corporations wouldn't take the time to run. They're not journalists, they're documentarians
@@listen1st267 I know people will miss the parentheses in the original comment! All ❤️. Don't need to come in defense of wendover lol. Especially over an internet Rando. 😉
@0:13 "They carry roughly half of the worlds' air cargo". Please clarify what other transportation branch carries the other 50% of air cargo?
dedicated freighters or military aircraft
30,000 lbs of cargo, but my checked bag cant be heavy.

So while flying with Emirates, there could be a Bugatti Veyron under the passenger compartment and I wouldn’t get to take a peek
i wanna be a cargo pilot
So remind me again why these companies needed a bailout
That is not a Gorilla, that is an Orang Utan.. |||-_-
Its just a visual shipping zoo animals happens daily
These air cargo providers are gouging the world economy!
To think a great white shark can be hovering over my house
Looking forward to seeing the flying taxi cabs in the sky is the United States

does the author realistically see a world without air cargo in the near future?

Asking the real questions
The Ministry of Civil Aviation is responsible for formulating and implementing schemes for orderly growth and expansion of air transport. Earlier air travel was expensive and beyond the reach of majority of the citizens.But now, because of the emergency of several private airlines, the fares have come down.As a result, competitive prices have made air travel easier and more accessible to the people.The cargo airlines such as Blue Dart Aviation Private Limited and Deccan Cargo and Express Logistics Private Limited are operating scheduled cargo services in the world and country. 👍👍👍👍🙄🌍

Is it impossible to determine and plot supply and demand functions in order to maximize profits through having marginal revenue equal marginal cost with 100.00 percent accuracy?

Are cows ever moved by air?

thats how i fly my miata aound the world
This is why i get charged $200 for an extra bag??
Allocative efficiency

So when they move live animals, are they in the cargo holds with oxygen masks? 🤔
Cargo holds are pressurized
Everyone doing the A350F design competition, take notes.
On that one, the B777X will be the winner.
I see no competition. At all.
@@joshberith oh so you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Do they transport deceased while routing passengers on domestic/international flights?
Yes
how? aircrafts were filled with cargo instead of passengers
How? (P)ANC.
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Terminal.
They fail to explain why they can carry this much weight but I have to pay a whole days pay for a 1lb over bag😐
No
Actually they pretty much explained it without flat out saying it. Every lb you get they can't give to cargo. So it's a safe assumption that you're paying for that lost revenue.
7:24 CORRECTION.. flies back to back
Ship cargo is good for canada.
I am an air forwarder what do you wanna know?
The ancient Venetians of Italy did this on wooden sailing ships before the industrial revolution. I estimate between 1/3 to 2/3 of the Venetian traders died at sea or were murdered and robbed by their business partners and buried under the soil of countries such as India. The 1/3 that made it home became fabulously wealthy and Venice became and international trading and banking powerhouse. Why did this trading empire end? LOSS OF TRADE AND A SERIES OF WARS!

I bet the port strikes will increase air cargo again

$49 for a suitcase...contents of which would not even cost $49! I knew from the start of the decline of airlines, they must be doing something in the bays.
Now everyone definitively knows why it costs a crazy extra amount when your bag is 2 pounds over the ever shrinking luggage weight limit. As always follow the money and you will know the truth.
No business moving animals. Humans are mired in the past.
Is it true cargo pilots earn more than passenger pilots?

Lebih cepat sampai pake Pesawat.
the headline is misdireted
It's pure cargo business during covid and after....very misleading
At $18 per pound, it would cost $4500 to fly my 200 pound ass and my 50 pound bag, if we were cargo. Can't say I blame them.
INDIA SHOULD DEVELOP AVIATION LOGISTICS GLOBALLY BECAUSE WE CAN EMPLOY MANY PEOPLE IN THIS SECTOR.
Screw American Airlines anyways. They charge so expensive

Same here, making a total of $25,250 from my investment, all thanks to Mathew Roszak
I'm enjoying working under a platform that brings good return in my life. I've been making my weekly return's without stress all in crypto currency
I have heard a lot about investments with Mathew Roszak and how good he is, please how safe are the profits?
It's four months now I started investing with him and it's been a good experience.
I have also been trading with him. profits are secured and over a 100 percent return on investment
Sharks are not "goods"
No room for dogs underneath...congrats your dog is now qualified as "service animal". We'll just have animals in the cabin...third world style!
Sharks??
Yea were all so broke right
Damn
I IMAGINE PIRACY OF THESE AIRCRAFT IS MORE CHALLENGING THAN A OCEAN GOING SHIP, BUT WHAT ABOUT BEING DESTROYED BY A SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE? WOULD THAT BE A RAPID DEATH WITH EXTREMELY BRIEF BUT INTENSE PAIN?

What pandemic
Covid
Anthrax.
So they made record profits with air cargo but were wanting government $$ help because they could go bankrupt
Are you tripping? Cargo flights require a few pilots for ULH. Passenger flights require the pilots, a dozen or more flight attendants, gate agents, many baggage handlers, customer service agents, etc.. the vast majority of revenue the airlines made before the pandemic and made once passenger traffic returned is from passengers. They didn’t make money. Their cargo division made money. That’s no way to run a passenger airline.
I can’t believe that you do not mention at all how polluting is air travel vs other means of transportation. And how unnecessary it is for e-commerce purchases. 😢
Air travel accounts for 2-3.5% of GHG emissions globally and thats from an estimated 35 million flights per year. It is not that bad compared to road transport and energy use in buildings which makes up about 25%
@@ThatAnnoyingStepdad sure, but the more important metric is the CO2 emitted per ton of cargo shipped. Air cargo blows any other mode out of the water in that metric
@@listen1st267 but capitalism though
Stop 😢 crying, despite the mass hysteria of global warming the end is not near. But millions of people are making billions of dollars in the AGW business.
