All this started because an individual has heard that Jota are not happy over a particular fee. Let’s hear a little more about that grievance if anyone can back it up.
The only thing I can say with some certainty was that when ASL started their night freight operation Jota were told that they would not be able to book any night slots at all in future. They also had to tow their aircraft onto the terminal contact stands for all departures, including positioning, and were probably charged accordingly. Whether this was due to generally enhanced security measures I don't know but they used to be able to depart from their hangar apron I believe. Certainly the talk at SEN was that Stobart did not seem to value their presence.
Last week Jota moved out of Viscount House and have established their commercial and operations offices in a nearby, off airport, business estate.
