Is Accurascale in Ireland? If so then Dublin Might be the one to watch? P Not much from the Far East goes to East Midlands, mostly parcels from Europe plus one or two from the USA. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but please don’t shatter my hopes ( er….delusions ) I can even read the DHL logo on the aircraft as it passes over my house down towards EMA…to the extent that occasionally I witness the undercarriage lowered. I mean..how close is that ? Edited July 27, 2023 by Ian Hargrave Correction 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium reddragon Posted July 27, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 27, 2023 What is general cargo? General cargo are items that do not fall into the Special Cargo categories and that do not require any extra precautions or special handling during air transport. These types of items are retail and most consumer goods (with the exception of mobile phones, tablets and laptops) , dry goods, hardware, textiles, and more. Think of your average, everyday objects; most of those would fall into the general cargo area. https://www.iata.org/en/publications/newsletters/iata-knowledge-hub/what-types-of-cargo-are-transported-by-air/#:~:text=General cargo are items that,hardware%2C textiles%2C and more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this include including DHL/UPS/Fedex etc (nominally bulk movement of aggregated smaller consignments delivered via company's own logistics chain) Or dedicated transport (non-logistics) operator i.e. Cargolux, Cathay Pacific freighter or similar bulk transport of shipments arranged/contracted/chartered by others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
