CaptainThis is just something that I have noticed, but how come on almost every airplane I have seen are the cargo doors on the right side? Is this because they board passengers on the left. And answers would be nice.

Captaini guess that would be the theory but i guess they like having both cargo doors on the right but then again whats the point for having 4 cargo doors besides b747`s etc
Chief CaptainOn the CRJ series the cargo doors are on the left. I think that it's just whatever works best for each model of aircraft. You are correct that jetways connect to the left side of the aircraft so that may play a part in the design.
Chief CaptainI'm pretty sure that the DC-10 has it's rear cargo door on the left 😉
CaptainYeah I can't think of a real reason either guys. I know almost every aircraft does, well commercial except for some regional jets.
