You'll soon be able to sleep in the cargo hold of an Airbus

Wednesday, April 25, 2018, 3:44 PM - European plane manufacturer Airbus has teamed up with Zodiac Aerospace to develop sleep modules that can go into the cargo containers on certain long haul flights.

In a statement, Airbus said the sleep stations are intended to give airlines more flexibility in planning their operations, while focusing on passenger comfort.

The first cargo sleepers are expected to roll out in 2020 on Airbus A330s.

Airbus says the modules can be swapped out with cargo containers.

Only limited information has been released about the design of the sleep pods, but the company says it has received "positive feedback" from several airlines regarding their mock-ups.
