Antonov 124s do it, Boeing 747s do it, even ATRs do it - they all serve as freighters, aircraft that carry cargo in bulk. Cargolux, DHL, FedEx and UPS are some of the world's most recognised airlines, but none of them carry paying passengers. More than 2,000 aircraft are registered in operation as commercially owned freighters, with hundreds more assigned to military air arms.

Whatever your interest in aviation, this eagerly awaited special provides a detailed insight to the world of cargo aircraft. Show more
