No, and this is really bad. Basically all the airline's computer systems worldwide will be revised to delete LBA and show suggested alternatives, likely to be MAN. I am just hoping that the airport management team understand how important cargo is and have something under their hats. Would be nice if I could get hold of someone but I'm not going to spend 15 minutes waiting for my call to the airport number to be answered (and paying for it) just to be fobbed off.
Does LBA even have a management team at the moment ? I don't know who's in charge since the bonny lad scarpered.
Bristol has no cargo faciity though. Hasn't had for many years.I guess Simon Whitby is at the helm now. The airport now, more than ever, also needs a businessman or woman who can really SELL the place to the airlines. Sponsoring a bicycle race is laughable. Bristol and Newcastle just get on with the job of promoting themselves and make extensive use of social media to those ends.
I should have made myself clearer. I was talking about the significant cargo facility that was moved from the airport to Avonmouth many years ago. BRS also used to handle substantial amounts of Royal Mail but like most airports that's a thing of the past.According to vol 3 of the HMRC tariff there are two transit sheds at Bristol. One operated by Bristol airport ltd and the other by WFS. So definitely thw customs freight facilities.
Ok, understood. I believe airports only record 'flown' freight whereas most is trucked from heathrow or continental airports. In our heyday of using LBA we moved around 1000 tonnes a year mainly flown into Paris and LHR and trucked on airline trucks to LBA for Customs clearance.
