Will be interesting to see if they can prise FED EX out ?
As much as this might be a strategic wish of MAG to concentrate cargo for the group at EMA it will be a commercial decision for UPS.
UPS has invested in a much larger facility at EMA, but so far the number of flights doesn't appear to have increased that much, so indeed, rather than any plan by MAG the move, if it takes place may be a commercial decision, however my gut feeling is that although some capacity may be moved north from Stansted there will still be a requirement for UPS to operate direct from the Southeast giving unreliability of the UK trunk road network. One all-lane closure of the M1 and express shipments coming out of London could all too easily miss their connections, and with the hightec sector concentrated in the southeast this could jeopardise business. And DHL maintain services from LHR despite the UK hub being in EMA.
