Airlines Cargo and Carry on; Delta American and Delta HUBS


Domestic Air Cargo Business

When airlines begin to limit the number/amount of free check-in bags, most passengers begin to either carry less or stuff as much as possible on carry ons.

Initially, airline makes more money from the checked bags, a good business. It also free up cargo space.  The carry on bags size begins to grow and heavier at the same time, and passengers are fighting for the precious overhead bin.  The bags may fit into the overhead bin, but it's likely that loaded bin exceeded its design limit.

Saving:  Same number of passenger - less overall weight/burn less fuel - longer boarding time due to fitting carry on bags. 

Opportunities: Free cargo space -
