Passenger Aircraft Utilization Solutions During COVID-19

As COVID-19 swept through the world, demand for passenger flights hit an all-time low in March and April of 2020. While some carriers resorted to restructuring and downscaling operations, some passenger airlines explored a new service – cargo transportation on passenger aircraft later known as “preighters.”

For example, European carriers Lufthansa, Swiss, Air France and British Airways modified their passenger aircraft by removing economy seats from multiple airplanes to be able to transport heavier and larger loads of PPE.

FL Technics completed several modifications for passenger aircraft like removing seats, installing cargo nets on floors and installing solutions for cargo transportation on passenger seats.
