Freighter proponents will be pleased to hear that a new report has revealed that the world will still need some 100 new freighters a year up to 2034, if the market grows at 3% each year. Even is there is zero growth, some 60 all-cargo aircraft will still be required to offset retirements. The report, by ACMG, notes that some “vigour” is returning to the market.
