Erläuterung

Air cargo accounts for less than 1% of global trade by weight but over 35% by value, reflecting the high-value, time-sensitive nature of goods shipped by air. Major cargo categories include electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishables, and e-commerce parcels. Dedicated freighter aircraft handle about 50% of air cargo, with the rest carried in the belly holds of passenger flights.
