Many thanks Mr A Tis, yes referenced earlier.

Helmut Torksdorf the Lufthansa comms manager only suggested yesterday that they could operate pure cargo 777F to Heathrow, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Probably perplexed that Manchester is obviously not pure cargo capable despite the clear message on the MAN website that we have 1000 professionals managing this.
It feels more like Pte Godfrey is running the show

"Manchester Airport is a global gateway to the North of England. Manchester Airport currently handles around 100,000 tonnes of import and export freight and mail annually, connecting the North of England to 160 destinations around the world.

Manchester Airport's cargo facility, the World Freight Terminal, is a community of more than 1,000 professionals managing freight-only aircraft as well as consignments that arrive or depart in the holds of passenger aircraft. Having grown to meet the increasing demands on importers and exporters across the country, our 24/7 service operates from 60,000 square metres of warehouse and office space for a comprehensive air cargo support system.

Manchester's largest cargo markets are the Far East, North America and the Middle East, with daily flights connecting to all of these"
