From page 77... ... Impact of Electric Aviation on the Demand 77 Regional Air Cargo Regional air cargo operations are similar to commuter operations in terms of aircraft size and average mission length. One difference is their slower tempo of operations, resulting in long ground turnaround times and reduced daily utilization. Read the entire page →
