Cargo planes, like the Boeing 767 in the story, are specifically designed to transport goods rather than passengers. They often have reinforced floors, larger doors, and no windows in the main cabin, allowing them to carry heavy and bulky items across long distances. Amazon, for example, uses a large fleet of these planes to deliver packages globally.
