MAG Group are in great position of having both EMA & STN to handle freight, so why would MAN itself be that interested in these freight flights - how much money is in these PPE flights ?
LGW has more or less been 'closed' for 3 months with no commercial flight some days, Heathrow has only been having around 100 arrivals - so slot issues there at all !
