If they are as mentioned going to Demolish the Servisair/Menzies Cargo/British Airways cargo shed and move them behind the exsisting Menlo/DHL buildings then as it stands they are currently building one new building that is approx 1/5th the size of the exsisting complex occupied by the actual handling agents.
The other thing to ask is why the company that has ploughed many thousand of pounds into opening a new cafeteria did this when the repositioning of the handling sheds would effect business, surely Manchester Airports office leasing department would of had to reveal the plans to knock down the handling shed in favour of re-locating, also Servisair ploughed a serious amount of money into transforming there reception area, why do this if they are going to move to new-build offices???.
More seriously **If** the handling agents we to move then this would also create the following problem, once cargo has been accepted into the freight sheds for export it has to undergo customs entry (If flying outside the E.U.) and vigerous security checks before it can leave the country. Once it has been accepted by customs and passed its security checks it is then pulled by tow trucks on Aircraft pallets onto the apron. If they were to move to the new building that is being errected then these movements would have to take place down a 300 yard stretch of public road(which is neede to gain access to FLS/Monarch,Alpha catering and more impotant the Romper Pubetc etc so no way they can close it), something that customs and aviation security regulations would simply not allow.
One last thing, having been in and around the cargo centre on a virtual daily basis now for 18 years this is not the first time that this rumour has come to light.
As far as i am aware there simply must be direct access to the apron from the back of the handling agents sheds, going into the new-build offices would mean that the entire cargo centre would need to be demolished and moved behind the new buildings,if this were to happen then someone might want to get in touch with the highways agency and advise them the A538 is going to have to be re-routed, not even mentioning the Junction 6 onto the M56.
Something to chew on.
