Robin Hood Airport increases cargo business
29.07.08
Robin Hood Airport is handling a rising number of cargo flights - heading from South Yorkshire to all parts of the globe. The reports come as the airport is bidding to relax limits on 24-hour flying, which could lead to an increase in night time cargo flights.
Officials say the airport experienced growth in cargo processed in June, handling dedicated wide body freight aircraft including Boeing 747, Airbus A300 and MD-11s, and exporting a mix of cargo including car parts, food produce and printed material. Flights have been taking goods to locations ranging from the Far East to North America and Europe.
The airport has asked Doncaster Council's planning department to relax existing planning rules preventing louder aircrafts from taking off or landing between 23:00 and 07:00 at the site, arguing that the current restrictions are to the economic detriment of Doncaster. However, residents living near the airport are against the plans over noise fears.
