Definition & Explanation

All-cargo freight flights dedicate the entire aircraft to goods transportation, with no passenger seating and the full payload available for freight. Freight forwarders turn to these services for time-sensitive, oversized, or high-value shipments that exceed what belly capacity on a passenger aircraft can accommodate. Unlike belly cargo – freight carried in the lower hold of a scheduled passenger flight as a secondary use of space – all-cargo operations offer significantly greater payload, more flexible routing, and independent scheduling. Charter variants allow shippers to tailor departure times and destinations to their precise needs. When passenger networks contract sharply, all-cargo carriers often become the primary backbone of air freight supply chains.
