SMALL cargo operations are vital in transporting goods to and from remote and underserved areas, offering efficiency and flexibility that more extensive transport methods often cannot match, reports Montreal's Simple Flying.
Many remote regions lack extensive infrastructure, such as long runways, direct road access, or rail connections, making small cargo aircraft essential to local supply chains.
Smaller aircraft provide greater operational flexibility, allowing for easier differentiation of cargo types without requiring specialised loading and unloading equipment.
Additionally, operating large cargo jets over short distances is often not cost-effective.
Regional aircraft like the Short 330 consumes less fuel and has significantly lower operating costs, making them ideal for such routes.
Initially developed by Short Brothers in the 1970s as a passenger airliner, the Short 330 was later adapted for small cargo operations.
Despite its unconventional appearance - earning it the nickname ' the Shed' -the aircraft has proven to be a reliable and economical choice for regional transport.
