You may want to have your blood pressure tablets handy if you’re talking about the Longtail flights. It emerged last week that they are now going to Bournemouth as the handling agent (Swissport I think) who had signed up for them changed their mind.

Cue much gnashing and wailing, but if they can’t get a handler what can the airport do in the current climate? Staff shortages and penalty clauses with existing customers won’t fill many handling agents with enthusiasm for ad hoc work.
