Extraordinary situation...

During the Corona crisis, passengers are a rare sight, but passenger planes get a new, vital task: More and more airlines transport medical goods such as face masks and other protective gear – and they are currently landing at our airport.

Usually reserved for keen travelers, now boxes are stacked between seats, in the overhead bins and in the aisles. Everything is secured properly, every inch is used for the valuable cargo. During loading and unloading, our workers employ special tricks.

As the cargo from the cabin isn't loaded onto containers or pallets, they can't work with forklifts and pallet trucks. The solution: taxiway modules. The slim track systems easily transport the box into the fuselage and the cabin and simplifies the work enormously.

Max Philipp Conrady – central division manager for cargo – is highly motivated: "Together with all acts within the air cargo industry, we're doing our best to balance missing capacities and connections. The demand is extremely high.

It's our goal to ensure the security of supply.

Already, a third of all daily cargo flights are operated with passenger aircrafts. A sensible conversion, which is imperative to manage the current challenges.
