No, that's not how it works. Air freight is containerized, so you need space that can take those containers, and converting a passenger plane into a freighter takes about three months.

Airlines will hate to make the best out of a bad situation which means maximizing results while minimizing expenditure. If we're talking about (quote) "emergency medical supplies" (and not only) it will be done exactly as I described. Sturdy seat covers and airmail bags are actually a practice today for some companies. And rules change in emergencies. Converting a GM, Tesla, or Ford factory to build ventilators would take fornever. And yet here we are with them volunteering to do it on short notice.
