Different drivers...
No private company is going to look at wider contribution to the regions economy. Local government might, Whether the assessments make sense is a different question. |

My bad, it was Luton, I've corrected my post.
Ah the LBA brigade, never have a good word to say about DSA. It wasn't a case of moving the UPS base to DSA, the intention was to build it there in the first place. That info is from a UPS manager of 35 years. |

[QUOTE=EMACargo;11641420]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? |
Is that when East Midlands extended the runway.

Being a UPS manager of 20 plus years, I can also confirm it was never an option to build a facility at DSA. the only discussion was of a potential Cologne rotation and that was a loose one at best
