The costs are actually reflecting the repurposing of passenger planes for cargo flights, at least on a small scale. Most passenger planes have cargo space...it's about 1/2 to 1/3 the usable space of their plane, therefore they are quite a bit less efficient. The increase in prices is reflective of a new market clearing price where capacity can meaningfully be increased.
