I'd have thought that they'd have cargo lifts already?

Firstly a very good spot by BlueManc. Manchester has plenty of lifts for belly holds but what the airport does not have is a 'high-lift' to the main deck.

I didn't realise that there were differences. I thought that the belly cargo ones would be able to go up to the main deck.

High-lift! I sat in front of my laptop with a brain freeze trying to think what this kit was called. I know that we have lost movements to DSA and EMA due to the absence of this essential kit.

Its a scissor lift platform and I think I know someone “Me” that could procure one for price , (if I weren’t furloughed indefintely) and delivery would probably be 12 weeks minimum .
The handlers DNATA in all probability should be able to transfer one though and I suspect that their own aircraft may simply be an ATR/ATP type with connections to Maastrict/Ostend/Liege/Amsterdam

THG Air in the press

Emphasises partnership with Singapore Airlines. I surmised that we were expecting 2 ex SQ 747F airframes hence the need for a high-lift/Scissor-Lift/Hi-Lo.

We can all dream a little....

THG Press release with interesting render of hanger

 

[Rob c DSA]

Interesting move if it does come off, would it be easier to operate from EMA or Stansted that are more freighter orientated though.

It might be easier for MAG. But not for THG. And THG is the customer.

Not when the major warehouse is right in back yard of airport
