Are you sure there are 100 freighters operating on the PVC-ANC route daily? 60% of air cargo is flown in the belly of passenger planes. There are not a huge number of dedicated freighters out there.
- ubernostrum 12y agoA 77-tonne load would represent about 6% of the capacity of the scheduled freight-only flights that ran PVG-ANC today (Wednesday). Depending on final aircraft arrangements, it would represent at most 4.8% of tomorrow's (Thursday's) scheduled freight-only flight capacity.
- thedogeye 12y agoVery cool. Where do you get your data? Apple is flying 1.4 full freighters per day just for the iPhone (well, maybe it's like 1/3 of 4 freighters). So they are a significant percentage of transpacific cargo.
- ubernostrum 12y agoPlenty of flight-tracking sites let you look up scheduled flights on any route and see how many flights and what type of aircraft.
