Hm, mixed set of reports/opportunities.

The move of MK into administration has certainly hit tonnage, but comparison with last year gives cause for optimism.

British Global is doing 2 per week from Nairobi, as is Cargolux. The latter is now doing 2 per week from Accra. EgyptAir has been busier this January than last, and should soon move back to 3 per week from Cairo.

The biggy is, of course, BAWC. My hunch is that they'll sign.

The other biggy is Flybe. If the relationship develops they'll be in the running for domestic/near continental routes.

Newmarket is just a bit of jam.

The collapse of the pound must be helping with competition with Oostende, and even Amsterdam.
