I'll answer my own post!
I've done some calculations on traffic between November 1st and 11th, as an outsider.
In the 11 days there have been 8 loaded MK flights and one positioning arriving. Of the 9 flights out, one was full to Lagos, and 5 of the others - to Ostend and Luxembourg - carried part-loads. A big increase in traffic.
In the same period there have been 4 EgyptAir turnrounds, some of which uplifted cargo.
There have been 2 ad hoc charters.
My estimate is that freight handled so far this month is 1,100 tons.
Jes you are correct, in that, mse is very busy at the moment with freight traffic and not just an increase seasonal stats.
The biggest increase is in the outbound loads by MK and Egypt, I wouldnt disagree with your figures, but won't be confirmed till the end of the month as usual.
Along with this increase, more staff have and are continuing to be employed to cope with this extra demand.
I have also heard that a 5 year business plan has been produced with great expectations for 2007.
Watch this space....
