What a weird rant about freight.........
Freight doesn't care where it lands. A 5-6 hour end truck journey is inconsequential to 95+% of all air freight.
MAG has cargo specialist airports - one being 3 hours from Manchester by truck.
MAN has not been a cargo focused airport for years and is not currently geared up for rapid changes to that reality in either trained manpower or necessary equipment.
None of this is news...........
I brought a consignment of PPE in from China for my business via airfreight last week.
The kit was made in Shandong province, for some reason it flew out of Mainland China via Hong Kong 1000+ miles away and ended up at EMA. Couldn't care less why. It turned up on time.......
