Many businesses from all around the world will need to send time sensitive and high value packages frequently. This is when many will choose to use the International Air Freight Services available to them. They will guarantee that all deliveries will arrive at their destination right on time.
Many of the larger cargo airliners specifically build aircraft to carry their cargo. Others on the other hand prefer to use the older Boeing 707, 747 and the 727 as well as the Douglas DC-8 and the DC-10 to name a few. The Douglas DC-3 is still in use today and is capable of carrying both, cargo as well as passengers. This makes it a very versatile craft, one that has been proven over decades.
DHL is another very reliable service which has proven too many over the years to be very efficient. When sending anything via them they are able to give one a specific date and time that the delivery will be done. They can also offer their customers a GoGreen service and they can provide detailed carbon reports when needed.
There is however another way of converting and that is by using any medium wide bodied Boeing or Airbus as there will be no need to strengthen the floor or add a large cargo door. The forward and astern doors will be used to load and unload with little problem. In order to move the containers from the lower to the upper deck a LCF platform lift will be used, it will also act as a part of the floor of the main deck during flight.
If there are any specialized loads the floor will be reinforced. However the A330-P2F is already able to accommodate sixty five tonnes on the main deck and another forty tonnes on the lower deck. If the change is not extensive it will only take about six weeks whereas the more complicated alteration can take anything up to four months and sometimes longer.
All the seats and other items will need to be removed and modifications or replacements of the floor structures will need to be added. The lift control systems in both the rear and forward sections will need to be installed with operator stations as well. A lift platform with the adjoining structures in the main deck will be created as well as the roller mats around the lifts need to be laid.
The safety of goods and the reliability is better when using air. Going over the ocean there is no guarantee that the goods will not be damaged due to rough seas and in the worst case scenario the ship could be lost or go down as a result of a storm. The chances of piracy in today's world are still a threat as well.
The Environment Control System which provides the air supply, thermal and cabin pressure control will need to be changed. The Avionics cooling, fire suppression and smoke detection will also be added at the same time. All accommodation will be fitted to ensure comfort for the crew during flight.
