Another solution to use passenger cabins
After its EASA approved "Cargo Seat Bags", launched earlier this year, Colibri Aero has joined forces with J&C Aero to develop another new product to help airlines generate extra revenues in these turbulent times, the "Cargo Container" for widebody passenger cabins.
With one container being able to transport up to 850 kg (1870 lb) of cargo, a typical A330 cabin can fit 36 containers – almost 27 t (58,640 lb) of cargo per single flight can be transported inside the passenger cabin.
Aircraft operators will be able to convert their A330/A340 and B767/777 between passenger and cargo operations within just 24 hours. Each equipped with its own smoke detector, the items are intended for temporal replacement of passenger seats while converting the aircraft’s cabin for transportation of any type of cargo. (ah)
