You’re absolutely correct. UPS have had their base at EMA for about 25 years from the initial 757 flights.

From what I remember, the early transatlantic flights were on stretched DC8’s.

In addition, reading some of the above posts gives the impression that EMA built the new hub for UPS. I may be wrong, but whilst they obviously facilitated its construction, it is my understanding that the majority of the £138 million cost was funded by UPS?

If my information is wrong then I'll happily accept that I'm wrong.
