Hybrid Airships seen rivalling fixed wing planes in air cargo market

HYBRID Airships may soon be competing with Antonov's and Ilyushin's to transport cargo for the outsized charter market, according to CEO Chapman Freeborn group of companies, Russi Batliwala.

The charter market grew at an incredible rate with the influx of many new names such as Antonov Ilyushin Myra Ruslan and new numbers AN124 AN225 IL76 AN12 AN24 AN26 and many others. 



The aircraft chartering industry has grown over the last years, in some cases, major global airlines have increased capacity to allow for more dedicated charter business either for single or for regular charters.



What had previously only been possible with the limited amount of Western made niche aircraft, like the Belfast, Merchantman, Hercules and Guppy was now readily available, with increased capabilities and most importantly huge amounts of flexibility.
