Does DNATA need special equipment to handle a 777 Freighter?
Clearly cargo doesn't have much of a say as to where it starts or finishes its journey, but if its being trucked to or from London then moving the flights further north makes little logistical sense.
Still it remains to be seen if MAN has more luck with Emirates than Air China.
