Yes, all very droll.
My estimate was a bit out.
Kent International handled 2,727 tonnes of freight in November – more than double the October tonnage. Strong growth in services from Cargolux, and a return of several movements by MK Airlines, contributed to the growth.
The November result was still 27% behind the 3,757 tonnes in November 2007 when MK Airlines was operating daily scheduled 747 freight flights. Year to date freight tonnage remains 26% behind the prior year.
Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, has announced it will operate a scheduled service from Kent International to Jersey next summer.
Rumours are plentiful at the moment, but we do know that a top level team from a blue chip freight airline was at the airport last week.
