Thanks for that.
I regularly follow Stansted on flightradar purely for the cargo flights.
My interest was more towards cargo schedules, hence my original question regarding the Maersk/Star Air Boeing 767s at STN.
So, as far as I am aware, Stansted has the following scheduled cargo flights operated by the following airlines.
Asiana
Cargolux
China Cargo Airlines
China Eastern Airlines
DHL
Emirates Sky Cargo (from September)
FedEx
Hong Kong Airlines Cargo
Qatar Airways Cargo
Silk Ways Airlines Cargo
Turkish Airlines Cargo
UPS
It's a very impressive list of scheduled cargo airlines at STN.
In the past, STN has also seen "scheduled cargo" flights from numerous airlines, including the following.
Aeroflot Cargo
Air France Cargo
Air Hong Kong Cargo
British Airways World Cargo
Cargologicair
Cathay Pacific Airways Cargo
Channel Express
Cygnus Air Cargo
Dragonair Cargo
Egyptair Cargo
Emery Worldwide Airlines
Etihad Cargo
Japan Airlines Cargo
KLM/Martinair Cargo
Korean Air Cargo
Lufthansa Cargo
Nippon Cargo Airlines
Singapore Airlines Cargo
(Have I missed any)
(Edited to add KLM/Martinair, Channel Express and Cygnus Air Cargo)
There are several airlines that operate large fleets of cargo aircraft worldwide and in particular to Europe that don't currently serve the UK.
Just as an example but looking at the amount of cargo traffic into the likes of Liege and Ostend in Belgium, there are a few cargo operators that could possibly include STN at some point in the future.
I appreciate the location of those two airports and the markets they both serve. I'm fully aware of the fact that most of the cargo from those two particular destinations is generally transhipped by sea to the UK. But there is always the possibility that STN might be considered by a couple of them sometime in the future.
In my opinion, they could possibly include the following airline's. All three of them have large fleets of cargo aircraft with many on order. The three airlines that I have listed fly to many destinations worldwide with dedicated cargo service, including Europe but excluding the UK.
Ethiopian Airlines Cargo
MAS Cargo
Saudia Cargo
Obviously I'm fully aware that Ethiopian serve LGW, LHR, MAN and Saudia BHX, LGW, LHR and MAN but with both airlines playing a significant and growing role in the worldwide cargo industry, surely it won't be long before one or the other will announce STN.
As an example Emirates fly to BHX, EDI, GLA, LGW, LHR, MAN, NCL, STN with a sizeable schedule and albeit generally on an A380 but it can still support dedicated cargo flights to the UK.
With the amount of extra paperwork and customs procedures due to leaving the EU plus the extra costs of transhipment from airports in the Benelux to the United Kingdom I'm surprised that STN has not attracted more dedicated cargo flights.
But in saying all of that, STN is doing rather well regarding cargo, and long may it continue.
