You can run cargo in passenger jets, in fact it's a good plan for heavier pallets. 90% of the time a semitrailer "cubes out" before it hits weight limits; that number is way lower for aviation. So you put the heavy cargo on passenger liners in their limited cargo holds. Now all the planes "cube out". | |

So some planes are operated just to keep the slots. This rule is, however, currently suspended (or at least being discussed) to avoid such ghost flights due to the Corona virus.

| Mar 31, 2020 at 11:03 | comment | added | svoop | Passenger airplanes transport cargo as well and since so many of them are grounded, there are not enough cargo airplanes to satisfy urgent transportation needs. Some airlines therefore operate ghost flights without passengers for freight only. I don't know whether this applies to Ryanair though. | |
