Given the emergency declared worldwide around the coronavirus, It is important to review the importance of air cargo as support in this type of situation.
Endless emergencies like tornadoes, earthquakes or health emergencies have shown the importance of first, have an operational airport and in conditions to receive flights and second, have air cargo transportation.
Such is the importance of this segment of the airline industry, that the World Health Organization itself – WHO has declared and asked all the countries of the world to facilitate and allow the normal operation of cargo flights with the following objectives:
- Keep import and export trade active as a catalyst for the local economy, on many occasions one of the few economic activities that remains active.
- Allow the free transport of medical supplies and humanitarian aid as the main objective.
As we reviewed in other deliveries, the airports do not stop and they should not stop given their strategic positioning and for precisely allowing commercial and humanitarian aid to reach those who need it most.
Maintain the cargo operation in emergency situations and maintain trade, requires the sacrifice of thousands of people involved in the production chain who put their lives at risk every day in order to guarantee that of others.
In this frame, at present and in view of the thousands of flights canceled per day, the freighter flights are the few that remain, despite the clear and imminent reduction in demand for these flights, its importance is very clear and the freighters continue to cross the skies, when others can no longer do so due to border closures or operational restrictions from governments.
