That also is a point to a degree, add in more competition from Mainland carriers like for example Yangtze River Express operating into Amsterdam and offering very attractive rates. However more pertinently is the fact buyers have adjusted lead times to use sea freight and make the major cost savings that involves. There simply isn't at the moment the same amount of cargo flying in, this is not confined to Manchester. Apart of course when they launch a new iphone or games consol when you cant find space for love nor money and that is when we may see the promised ad hoc freighters coming in.
