Question: Cargo vs Pax

Post by Taran » Sun Jul 24, 2016 7:41 pm

Can someone tell me if cargo flights are just as good, better, or not as good as pax flights.... in other words, would cargo operations be useful to invest in?

B747-400 Average profit 111,971
B747-400F Average profit 60,146 (53%)

B737-700 Average profit 17,695
B737-700C Average profit 12,144 (69%)

DC-10-30 Average profit 55,448
DC-10-30F Average profit 32,887 (59%)

Many people would like to know, but we are not telling.
