Cargo capacity

Hi,Q: Why is there so match cargo capacity for the luggage ofcourse, but if you have 107 passenger, then your weight should be around 2000KG of luggage. But if you calculated both of the cargo holds together you will get a max weight of 12364KG (-700 type).Why is that???? You never fill the cargo holds to that weight!

There are times, when you do cargo flights.For example many postal services borrow flights from national airlines, to ferry postages areound.In those cases planes to depart with very few passengers but full cargo holds.Example of this are Alitalia for Poste Italiane, British Airways for Royal Mail, and so on.BRClaudio
