KOREAN AIR has operated 10,000 cargo-only flights on former passenger planes due to the suspension of flights from the ongoing Covid crisis, reports Singapore's Asian Aviation.
The airline launched its first cargo-only flight on the Incheon-Ho Chi Minh route in March 2020 and has operated these flights on 65 routes to North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, China, and Japan, transporting 400,000 tonnes worldwide.
100 cargo-only aircraft were deployed to India, where Covid crisis cases were soaring, to transport pandemic relief supplies.
"We expect cargo-only passenger flights to play a more vital role in the second half of the year when the volume of import and export cargo typically increases," said Korean Air.
"As a Korean flag carrier, Korean Air will continue its efforts to create a stable logistics environment for imports and exports by actively securing cargo capacity," said Korean Air.
