How do air cargo flights get scheduled?

Question

What factors affect air cargo flights? How cargo is distributed among flights?

Answer 1

im gonna make a guess, becuase i have no idea at all. but i beleive once you checked in ur luggage it goes on the airline's cargo carrier plane and flies to the same destination as to where you are going to.

Answer 2

Cargo carriers have scheduled flights in and out of specific airports. Flight planners monitor the bookings for size of the shipments and weights to try and balance the loads, and to plan how the flights and cargo are loaded. Before a flight leaves the hanger they recheck everything to make sure that everything that needed to get on board did make it. The cargo planes do not carry luggage and are on a different schedule from passenger flights.
