I 100% agree, likewise does it not make equal sense that "other imports" destined for companies across the N West which include Merseyside are not directed to another airport 100 miles away ?
I'm unsure whether the issue lies with the airport or the handler but either way there is no hiding place.
In terms of MAG the cargo manager is based at East Midlands, I doubt they are going to redirect business "BACK TO MANCHESTER".
Its preposterous that an airport that trumpets itself as gateway to the North and consistently puts forward the
PR mantra "22m customers in a 2 hour catchment" is unable to handle pure cargo flights.
In terms of a handler not having the equipment that is not a cover story that MAG can hide behind. There has to be minimum levels of provision, if the handler cannot meet those requirements the terms of contract need to be reassessed.
