FreightWaves’ Anthony Smith and Zach Strickland look at how this market ties into the greater economy on this episode of Freightonomics, and they welcome Air Cargo Editor Eric Kulisch to the show to help shed some light on the situation in the skies. 

The three talk memes, news and explore the Air Cargo Price Index per kilogram. Kulisch explains how Delta is planning on expanding its cargo network and why American Airlines is having such a hard time keeping planes in the skies with all this demand.
