Fedex rejected Robin Hood over noise limits
29.09.08
Robin Hood Airport was rejected by Fedex because of its strict limits on aircraft noise, the Star reports. The airport, which hopes to develop a 100,000 tonnes a year freight operation by 2030, has admitted it has been turned down by the freight operator.
Fedex looked at Robin Hood as a possible base, but decided to move to Manchester because flights known as QC4 flights are banned under its operating conditions. QC4 is a measure of noise and some freight firms use occasional planes in that class.
A spokesman for the airport said: ‘Fedex looked at Robin Hood some time ago, looked at the QC4 situation, and because of the constraints went to Manchester.' The airport has already applied for the restrictions to be lifted.
