Press Release hub banner blue with title in red white and blueAn increasing number of airlines are now using their aircraft for cargo flights, loading passenger cabins with cargo, including on passenger seats. Some airlines have even removed seats to convert their passenger cabins into large cargo holds.

Safety products company Trip & Co has developed a solution that will enable airlines using passenger cabins for air cargo transportation to increase safety, efficiency and ease. Its Cargo Seat Bag and Cargo Seat Net have reached the market in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

Together, the Bag and Net fixate, stabilize, secure and protect cargo during flight.

Explaining the product, Trip & Co chief executive officer Tijmen Koster said: “There is no need to remove passenger seats, allowing for less conversion time before an aircraft can operate in its new role. Also, there is hardly any conversion once restoring operation as a passenger aircraft. In addition, there is no need to source used and/or wrong-sized materials such as not-fitting cardboard boxes, stretched straps et cetera.”
