Surely, it would be cheaper to close the JP1 free drop off & the cost of all the shuttle buses running near empty & allow free drop off at T1- at least for now.

If your jaw has dropped on this, wait till you hear about the incoming storm re the RAM Cargo 767 which ended up going to Liverpool. Apparently the approach to Manchester was lost due to red tape ?
Red Tape ? What red tape would that be , telling a customer who has a desperate demand to use an airport on his doorstep he really should be using one in the Midlands.
Is this switch selling at work again ?
Why is Manchester turning its nose up at revenue whilst firing staff at the sametime.
ill bet EMA and Doncaster cannot believe their luck in having such a benevolent airport happy to point business destined for Manchester towards their respective runways and in this specific case, now Liverpool. They welcomed the flight with open arms and have now probably guaranteed this customer uses them again on repeat business.
Turning business away whilst laying off staff suggests the MAG CARGO MANAGER needs a degree of retraining.
Time for our new CEO and Charlie Cornish to bang heads together.
It was unacceptable turning away PPE flights earlier in the year and remains so with general cargo.
