3,650 passenger and 1,560 cargo flights each year by 2025
Clean yer specs and re read:
They have 15 years to reach those figures, whereas Stobart could have 276 lorries operating in and out of there next week. Now you do the maths.

Jamesair - air freight is unlikely as most of what Stobart haul would not be cost effective to fly to Carlisle and then put on a lorry.
Any other airfreight is well catered for in the north west by the proximity of Newcastle, Glasgow and Prestwick.
Purpose built facilities would be required for air freight at Carlisle and that would be a very expensive investment for little return.
I doubt that it would happen.
