Production freighters throttle December freighter transactions

Fifty-six freighter aircraft transactions were logged by Cargo Facts in December, a 31% month-to-month increase from November, due in part to the notable surge in production freighter deliveries. Nine production freighters were delivered in December to four customers: China Airlines, FedEx, Qatar Airways and UPS.
