Manchester-2
Charlie mentioned that demand had dramatically decreased at all of our airports, with the exception of East Midlands where its cargo operation is busier than normal. Over the weekend, Manchester saw a total of 57 arrivals and departures and 2,763 guests. To put that into context, normally at this time of year we would be seeing 35,000 guests per day.
Further to this, today easyJet and Ethiopia Airlines announced they would be grounding flights and Ryanair has reduced its operations even further.
In line with this limited demand, with effect from Wednesday 1 April, our operational hours for Terminal 1 will be 06:00-16:00. We will however maintain 24/7 airfield operational capability.

Well here we are in a crisis but in a boom time for Airfreight it would seem. You'd expect that Man with it's Worldwide reputation as being Britains Number 3 airport, to be participating in this bonanza and a least generating some revenue and employment for it's beleagured workforce and the agencies on the airport. So let's see, what has been the result so far?
Absolutely ZERO. What a fantastic result No.3 !
We are always hearing that we don't get freight traffic because we have so much underbelly capacity. Well, now we have zero, so where is all the freight going ?
Oh yes, we don't have the handling capacity anymore as we have no Hi-Lo's available at this International Giant jet port!
What a shamefull reflection it is on it's ability to get freight quickly to areas of the North West of England, especially if it's of the Medical variety. It is doing the NW a great dis-service by the apparent inability to attract or un-willingness
to have adecent freight operation. Oh yes, lets pack out the MAG groups other facilities at EMA and Standstill and then we can let the stuff be trucked up to the NW.
All the eggs have been placed in one basket ( Pax) and the bottom has fallen out of that Carrier bag and will take a long long time to recover, IF IT EVER DOES ?
May as well demolish the Freight sheds at Man and turn them into a car Park ready for the return of Passengers which is their Meat and two Veg, meanwhile rent some cheap wharehousing in Trafford Park for the freight operation.
I'm dumbfounded by the lack of any initiative being shown at present. Are the management working from home on their Sinclair ZX Spectrums? T'wud appear so !
Adola.

MAG is a group and this is EMA's opportunity to shine. If EMA has the capability to do freight more cost effectively than MAN then why should that be a bad thing? In the long run I would suggest that anything which benefits the group, benefits MAN in the long run.
In "normal" times (who remembers those??) you wouldn't expect Virgin to start operating longhaul flights from EMA to somewhere like the west coast of America. That's what MAN can do well as it has the catchment area to support these longhaul routes.
There is a paragraph near the end which says " Positioned only a four-hour truck drive to 90% of the population of England and Wales, EMA’s central location means vital supplies flown into the UK can be with those who need them most urgently very soon after landing, wherever they are in the country."
I don't work there but in my view EMA are set up to do this, appear to be doing a decent job of it and will benefit the whole group.

Additionally, there's no parking space for anything.

A fair amount of freight does leave Manchester in the belly of passenger aircraft (although not currently of course), you are right thought about consolidation of cargo down south.
There are trailer links to European airportd still, am currntly expecting a shipment from South Africa due on a KLM truck from Amsterdam.
