From what i've heard there has been some interest and rumours buzzing around NQY that several cargo companies are interested. Plans are to utilise the existing redundant hangars (404, 402) left over from when the MOD pulled out. An access road from behind one of the old hangars(404) has already been submitted and approved by CCC and is due to start work soon.
Personally I think it makes sense to use NQY as a cargo hub as it the 1st mainland airport that aircraft from the USA come across. Theres plenty of traffic that passes overhead going to and from the states.
Plus there's the added bonus of the runway length that can take anything that's flying at the moment. And there is gallons of space on the south side of the runway. I'm sure the big wigs at NQY would like to rent some of it out and start making some extra ££££££.
