Freight; Unfortunately the airport is covered by Article 1(4) of Council Directive 96/67/EC which means ground handling has to be done by agents. So around 15 years ago the airport had to sell/transfer all the freight handling equipment to the then two handling agents. The most important piece of equipment was the high scissor lift was then sold on! So now unless the handling agents 'want' the business it goes to the likes of DSA, who are not big enough to be covered by the above directive and own our old high scissor lift I believe??
I guess when we leave the EU we could go back to the old way of ground handling??
GA?? Too busy?? Well when I moved to DXB we had a flying club with two twins and six singles and around 750 movements per day! Yes two runways but...... They only moved out when movements went through the 1000 per day!!
