Well I guess , ( although aircraft are bad for the environment) but IF you could land a large say 767 freighter on this new runway , and fly it to say Leige.
That is a heck of a lot of lorries , not on the ferry , and ultimately clogging up the relatively rural roads on either side of the ferry route .
Is it? What's the 'lorry equivalen't of a 767? What's the price difference of transporting a lorry load by air rather than by truck?
