Passengers airlines making big money from shipping cargo is not new. From 2018 https://thepointsguy.com/news/how-airlines-make-big-bucks-from-cargo/ https://thepointsguy.com/news/how-airlines-make-big-bucks-fr... Airlines don’t make money just from flying passengers: air cargo is a big business. It doesn’t fly just in dedicated freighter aircraft, but also in the belly holds of passenger flights. And right now it’s booming. Also, the WSJ.com article seems to indicate American Airlines is the first in doing this in this covid-19 crisis, and that other airlines are following. However I believe it was Korean Air that started to focus on shipping cargo on passenger airlines without having passengers onboard. This timeline makes sense as Korea was the first nation outside of China that had a big spike in covid-19 infections. S. Korea was one of the first nation that saw its citizens barred from entering other nations in this covid-19 crisis.
