How are these exports being transported?
Probably clogging up the M56/M6 and roads around LHR and all routes to Dover!
For air freight

Some into the MAN freight village to go on flights from MAN

Some into the MAN freight village to be consolidated onto a pallet to be sent by road to a London Airport or even BRU or AMS

Some bypassing the MAN freight village altogether and going for consolidation darn the SE or abroad.

Im guessing that with Astra Zenica closing its Cheshire branch, we can kiss the US A330 goodbye at MAN in place of a B757/B767, given that it was the biggest user of the flight?
I wonder about its future at all now, especially with the merger of U.S. Airways and American. I'm sure they will be reviewing all routes and Astra Zeneca are a major user of MAN- PHL and I guess many will be premium pax.

Maybe as the AZ research HQ is being located to Cambridge, they will open up a STN-PHL instead, keeping the business within the Group.
