I'm not disputing the fact that Liverpool should of course have been the primary destination, that is not in doubt.
Well done Liverpool who grasped the opportunity readily and by all accounts provided excellent customer service.
We should not forget that they will have put themselves in prime position to handle more of these flights moving forward.
But an approach was made to Manchester who seemingly made no attempt to look at what might be done to handle this flight.
So in effect are we are saying Manchester has scant regard for its employees or taxpayers who provided a substantial bail out a few months ago, and is now incapable of handling a pure freight flight ever again. Its preposterous for an airport of this size centred in the heart of the industrial North.
Is Manchester the only airport in the UK with a no freight notam ?
Even accepting that the main freight hub is EMA this seems farcical.
