The first cargo flight in Indonesia took place on 17 March 2015 at Yogyakarta International Airport. The flight carried a package of 200 pounds of silk for the opening of a store, marking a significant milestone in the country’s air cargo industry.

In economics, the word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed—generally for commercial gain—by water, air or land. "Freight" is the money paid to carry cargo. Cargo was originally a shipload.
