Meanwhile, East Midlands Airport has become a particular focus. A newly-opened cargo facility there is almost four times the size of its predecessor and ideally located due to its proximity to last-mile delivery partners.

“ We get more and more inquiries from freighter operators wanting to bring e-commerce into East Midlands,” Duncan reveals.

“ If we take Evri, for example, their main hub is in Rugby. So, flying into East Midlands, transitioning cargo to the last-mile delivery partner, who takes it to the consumer’ s door, makes a lot of sense.

“ We need to continue investing and growing in this area and that’ s exactly what we’ re doing.”
