Medical and cargo go hand in hand and will do for many months if not years ahead. As we start the first Monday of 2021 its time to ramp up on distribution and supply of the two companies for Covid19 Vaccines. The most three prevalent airlines at the very beginning to transport the vaccine by air was United Airlines followed by UPS and Fed EX. Others have followed them in the strict transport protocols.
Moving forward worldwide we all need to see this ramped up to make this world a better one and move forward. Logistically it is a mammoth task in practical and more time consuming than on paper. This is something that needs to be improved ion by far. For all airlines and cargo companies alone are adhering to the strict protocols and in advance we like to thank you.
Cargo airlines in general were seeing last year in February some major challenges ahead. As the Coronavirus took to gripping the world and officially known worldwide as a pandemic in March 2020. This is where commercial airlines and flight were almost total grounding. However, the cargo industry pent up with demands has since grown in proportions not originally projected. One airline to mind got real good business sense earlier was Sun Country Airlines signing a deal with Amazon air known as Prime Air. This unique deal was to supply several Boeing 737-800 aircraft that became BCF aircraft. Now standing at a total of 12 Boeing 737-800BCF aircraft being operated for Cargo.
Recently Amazon Air acquired seven Boeing 767 aircraft from Delta Airlines for conversion to freighter aircraft. This deal came to light at the end of December 2020. Thus, putting a spotlight of Amazon Air, they will this year 2021 open its 1.5-Billion-dollar air cargo hub at CVG, Cincinnati / Covington Kentucky Airport. This is a big shot in the arm for business as Delta cutback its operations as a flight attendant base in June 2020.
