June 09, 2020 at 3:10 pmI have mentioned this before as comment on earlier posts…airlines haven’t taken cargo business seriously. It’s considered a tertiary business. All new routes opened are based in passenger demand and not cargo though cargo department gets all the brunt of not making up enough revenue for the losses made on passenger side. Having said one is that airlines look at their strategy but in bigger picture it all starts from the shipper and no one questions them which I believe is the biggest problem of the industry
