Air Cargo has become a huge global industry with airlines like Japan Air Lines and Northwest along with the air freight companies operating regular service around the world.
What large jet freighter is used most?
Other than parcel delivery, what cargo is the most commonly carried and why? I'm thinking cut flowers and food but I'm drawing a blank as to what else.

The 747 cargo airplanes see TONS of action in the air freight business... every airline with a cargo department seems to fly the 747... and one of the largest air cargo compaines in the world, UPS, flies the 747...
The Cargo carried can be anything from mail, to flowers, to toys... the list goes on and on... if the reciever needs it quick, it can be shipped via an airplane...

Hi there,
Air Cargo has been the major business for the airlines. Most of them are banking on the belly hold capacity of the cargo whereas other airlines operate freighters. Freighters are nothing but airplanes which are exclusively dedicated for cargo.
The commodities transported by the airlines are Pharmaceuticals, Perishables, Dangerous Goods, High Value commodities, Human remains & Live Animals.
Depending on the fleet, airlines decide on cargo planes. They can either use Boeing 777 or Airbus A330-200F freighter conversion.
