Cargo 2020 Beat COVID

In December 2020 as the world held it's breath under the global threat of the deadly infecting COVID-19 , came the air cargo industry leading the way in delivering the antidote to millions.

Based on the job air cargo did for getting COVID vaccine to people all over the world the great expectation based on general knowledge amongst the masses was that maybe finally our industry and particularly the USA would embrace wider spread induction of freighters.

One executive in 2020 actually called for closer look at freighters.His name is Bill Boesch.

This is his story from our pages and the edition of Flying Talkers dated December 14,2020 when hopes ran high as vaccine deliveries began in earnest.

As we revisit that story here ,alas in 2024 the conversation so far all year long at air cargo industry gatherings has bounced back between sustainabiity and digitalization.

Bill Boesch for freighters echo's and re-echo's the words of the true main deck advocate in air cargo, now most notably lacking in numbers at every USA flag airline.
