Has the new frt ramp opened at stn ?, hopefully it might be a bit less of a pain in the @rse to operate out of there !.
P.S. Have Channex started operating their 73QC yet.

Lots of rumors flying around at STN at the moment. So far I've heard;
The new freight ramp at STN is for FedEx. The new building behind the cargo sheds is their new offices and warehouse and it is still being built/furnished. Should be up and running in a few months. The only aircraft I have seen on the ramp so far is one of their 10's. We'll have to wait and see if the new ramp is for the sole use of FedEx. It would definately ease the problems caused by FedEx taking up all the Alpha stands at night. FedEx are also increasing the number of aircraft flying into STN when the new freight shed opens.

I hear that Channel Express will start flying the 73QC at the end of this month from STN. Anyone have any more info?
