I thought I read there was actually only one Amazon night flight? The claim is that the airport would not survive without it.

Quote from KEVIN Buck is shadow councillor in charge of transport.

Although this may be annoying for many, it’s also keeping the airport going and the staff still employed, working. Stop the night flights and there will be a bigger cull of staff. Having lost Easyjet I don’t think the airport will survive if these flights are stopped.
But this report says not only will the airport survive but that Amazon flights could be expanded.

The trading update also revealed the airport’s deal with Amazon to provide night-time cargo flights could be expanded.
