What does Belly cargo mean in logistics?
Short answer
Freight carried in the lower-deck holds of passenger aircraft, alongside passenger baggage. Capacity and dimensions are limited by the hold size and door openings.
A large share of India’s domestic air cargo moves in the bellies of scheduled passenger flights, which gives wide network coverage but restricts piece size and some dangerous goods. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
