Airlines given rules on how to swap passengers with cargo

Bloomberg

Struggling passenger airlines can turn planes into cargo-only aircraft provided they take steps to prevent fires and keep weight balanced, US aviation regulators said in new guidance.
With passenger demand plunging to nearly zero, some airlines have begun carrying more cargo to provide revenue.
The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) guidance will allow them to carry it in what had been the passenger areas of the plane.
Transforming aircraft in that way is permitted, the FAA said in an alert.
