PETALING JAYA: Local passenger airlines will soon ferry cargo instead of people as the nation’s aviation industry seeks to cushion the impact of the Covid-19 crisis which has seen a steep drop in number of passengers as travel and health checks remain in place.

Suresh said the transport ministry and the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia had been supportive of the idea.Such initiatives aren’t new. In April, Reuters reported that Germany’s Lufthansa Technik AG, Canada’s Avianor, Hong Kong’s HAECO Group and Belgium’s Akka Technologies were among those stripping out seats or adding nets and storage devices to cabins to cram in cargo instead of tourists.

He said the hub would need to comprise, among others, a rail network to the different regions and ports,and infrastructure to accommodate other modes of transport as well.
