Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

Ok back to movements, apparently we have an arrival due in about 50 minutes
Lets not all get too excited !!!!!!

Several airports do survive exclusively on cargo revenues, others survive with a majority of their revenue from cargo, others depend on cargo supplement pax revenues to make them viable. I'm sure EMA for one would not have a problem if pax flights were withdrawn permanently.

according to the MAG annual report, it costs about £58 million a year to run EMA and they get £25 million from airline operations. A deficit of £33 million. The profit comes from the £40 million they make from commercial’ activity which is car parking, food and beverage and duty free - none of which would be there without passenger traffic. Obviously without passengers they could save money in security and any passenger handling costs they incur, but they’d still be looking at a big loss. All of MAG’s airports loose money on the difference between running the airport and the amount airlines pay them, which is probably the same in most places with the exception of Heathrow. From a financial perspective, airports are car parks, restaurants and shopping malls with a runway attached
