Asiana Airlines Inc. has converted two more A350-900 passenger jets into cargo planes to meet cargo-transporting demands in Asia, Europe, and the US while offsetting a pandemic-triggered decline in air travel demand.
According to South Korea's second-biggest carrier, it is focusing on winning more air cargo deals to survive the effects of the pandemic.
Asiana already converted two A350-900s and two B777-200ERs into cargo planes last year.
Airlines worldwide are now utilizing former passenger planes for cargo flights, either by removing seats or using cargo seat bags.
Demand for cargo services has jumped since last year amid strict passenger entry restrictions.
Asiana narrowed its net losses from 817.89 billion won in 2019 to 404.51 billion won last year by focusing on winning cargo deals, having employees take unpaid leaves, streamlined overseas operations.
