An aircraft specifically designed and used to carry cargo and freight.
Compound of 'airfreight' and agent suffix '-er.' The term reflects the growth of dedicated cargo airlines in the late 20th century.
FedEx airfreighters are often retired passenger planes, stripped down and rebuilt—a 30-year-old Boeing 757 gets a second life as a cargo hauler, flying packages at night when passenger flights sleep.
