Hello
I like to fly with my Cargo Queen 747-400F around the world.
It is possible to add more Cargo/Package to some exotic Destination?
At the moment I`m on the way from UUEE to ZSPD. I like to bring Package to Tahiti, Pago Pago and some other Island
like Rarotonga and more.
Normally they are ships bring that staff, but also a B747F can land on some airports.
Thank you.

Re: More Cargo/Package to exotic Islands
The package system does look at the recent flights when deciding to add packages, so the more flights the more packages, but for some of these small exotic islands, a 747 may be too big for the package volume and something smaller would be more suitable.

Hello Joe.
Before I did buy this scenery I did check if I can land with a B747-400F.
The idea is to bring some Staff to the People living on this Island, such Generator, Food etc.
I considering this as an extra challenge, as I also fly to Antarctica want bring some Staff there what thy needed for living.
But to fly to thoose exotic Destination without special Package makes no sense.
Thank you.

Re: More Cargo/Package to exotic Islands
I remember having a conversation with another pilot who wanted to fly a giant 747 into tiny remote locations, his opinion was that in the real world he would not be allowed to fly if the flight would not make money, he is flying it, therefore it should make money. My response was an officer of the airline would do the math and see if the flight would make money and not allow it if would not, and on FSA he was that officer.
Btw, Pago Pago has almost 900k of packages waiting to be picked up and Tahiti over 2m packages, so there is enough, maybe not from the airport you want to fly from. As for Antarctica, these are very rough strips on ice, biggest aircraft that could really get in there is a C-130 modified for ice operations, no place for conventional jet liners who need hard surface runways.
