cargo flights
Goods-only aviation routes
Cargo flights are aircraft operations dedicated to transporting freight rather than passengers.
The term covers everything from overnight package deliveries to military supply missions.
Commercial airlines often run cargo flights alongside passenger service, using dedicated freighter aircraft or filling belly space on passenger planes: FedEx operates thousands of cargo flights daily.
