cargo

Agree with your comment on
"wish there was more"
not sure I do agree with:
"We had a brilliant cargo manager who MAG shipped out.... result volumes fell away and whilst we are in a recession the airport mangement can hide under this cover ! "
I do agree that MAN top team have no real interest in or knowledge about cargo but think the downturn in volumes is due mainly to market forces . However a top notch cargo man who understands the business and who had the full support of the airport management ( that would make a change!) would undoubtedly help.
On the question of Heathrow cargo.
Was definitely down for the first three quarters of the year.
do not know exactly how much but something in the region of 14% I think.
Oct figures rose slightly.. I think there are stats on the BAA web site.
MAN cargo volumes whilst down..and did "fall of the cliff.. but is slowly climbing back up the cliff.
It might also help if we knew how CX were volumes were holding up!!
October figures show cargo increases across seven of BAA's UK airports with London Heathrow up 1.5 per cent to 148,897 tons and London Stansted also increasing 2.9 per cent to 18,125 tons.
