Looks like it could be an interesting challenge to the BOH freight flights operated by Air Contractors (ex-Channex). Would make particular sense if they can secure the flower and general freight business previously covered by Channel Express. As most of this traffic originates or terminates well to the east of BOH then SOU would be a good choice, at least geographically. For quite a few years these flights operated from BOH because of the tie up between Channex operating newspaper and mail flights overnight and having available aircraft for the C.I. flights during the day. Now however this is not the case and the other (non-aviation) freight companies in the Dart Group may prefer to use an airport nearer to their current operating areas. And there has been a good working relationship between Channex and Emerald over the years.
