Logistics this, logistics that, but if the airport are possibly turning away freight traffic (not the under belly stuff) then how it's supposed to be a viable business model?
Most cargo these days is underbelly, and with the number of routes serving MAN from non EU airports with wide bodied aircraft offering considerable cargo capacity the logistics business should be strong without all cargo ops. look at LHR and LGW. Add to that the additional admin and potentially warehousing space for clearance of European business post Brexit I would suggest this may not be as much spin as suggested.
