A good article in Business Daily, outlining Kenya Airways’ plans to boost its cargo operations. Given the current market, it won’t be the only passenger airline looking to do the same.

One carrier would suddenly find a rich seam of business, only to be swiftly followed by a load more chasing the same tonnage, immediately causing the market to collapse, rate-wise. Capacity will inevitably dribble back into the market over the next year, with cargo-in-cabin and freighter conversions on the rise – and without the bellies, there is certainly room for more.
