UPS
The local press are reporting that UPS have drawn-up plans for a new multi-million pound freight hub at the airport.
The planning application has yet to be submitted and no timescale has been suggested. I expect this is dependent on how quickly their business expands, but they did say their facility is currently working at 90% capacity at peak times.
An airport spokesperson indicated that EMA expects to exceed their best 12 month freight total sometime in the next 6 months, so things certainly seem to be picking up in this sector; Aerologic's expansion at the airport must be a factor in this.
This news also gives an indication that the current UPS facility might well be, as someone previousl suggested, the site which the airport has identified for a posssible "business terminal". In light of recent comments though, it might be put to better use as an arrivals hall..!
