This is still pretty much universally true, especially for transoceanic flights. It contributed to the massive logistical clusterfuck of covid in the early months because the passenger carriers collectively fly more freight across the Pacific than FedEx/UPS/DHL. When passenger travel came to a halt, so did all of that supplemental freight carriage.
