Cargo Operations

[Stagman]

Teesside International Airport recently opened a cargo facility in Hangar 3.

Recently we have been seeing a number of aircraft arriving with imports of automotive parts from Hungary and exports to Sweden.

I think @lbaspotter mentioned a food import/export licence being sort. I don't know if this has been implemented yet?

@Aviador When the media started doing the stories about the first cargo flights being handled, it was mentioned that wide body aircraft were to be expected.

I picked up on this and added quite a bit of dialogue last week but it seems to have
disappeared!

This is the article that mentioned about wide body aircraft.

Pilatus PC12/47E
Ce560 Citation Encore +
Ce680A Citation Latitude

Cargo traffic is building nicely. I look forward to hearing of more substantial aircraft in the future.

The anticipated increase in cargo doesnt seem to have happened. Still waiting for mainstream freighers, just seem to be small general aviation types still.

Any news on positive developments?

There was an ATR42 in last week bringing in cargo from Czech Republic.

There was an ATR42 in last week bringing in cargo from Czech Republic.

I was thinking more of regular services and at least B737 freighter size.

 

[Stagman]

Four freight flights in from Ostrava today, two An26's and two ATR72's.

I love those old Soviet types. Do you ever get the An-12's. They're amazing and so much smoke.
Good to See Teesside handling a fair amount of freight.

 

[Stagman]

Five cargo flights in today.
At one point this afternoon there will be 6 cargo aircraft at the airport, 3 of which will be An26's.

23 Tonnes of cargo this week.

Do you know where the movements are 'from' and 'to'??

 

[Stagman]

Think the routing will be Paris CdG - Edinburgh - Teesside - Paris CdG.

The first FedEx flight landed this evening with a water cannon salute.
