belly cargo

Belly cargo refers to goods transported in the lower section of an aircraft's fuselage, typically beneath the main passenger compartments. This space, called the belly hold or cargo hold, is used to carry freight, luggage, and other cargo separate from passengers. It allows airlines to maximize space efficiently, transporting large volumes of goods on passenger flights or dedicated cargo planes. The cargo is securely loaded, stored in containers or pallets, and carefully handled to ensure safety, security, and proper weight distribution during flight.
