Why the charging sizes grow faster in EMA than Heathrow

Matthew Ware, CEO of Mark 3 International, says Heathrow has suffered from investment and pays the price. EMA Airport announced a 17.4 % increase on an annual basis in charging sizes, and it increases faster than Heathrow during the same period.

Matthew Ware, CEO of Electronic Logistics Specialists Mark 3 International, said the news was not surprising, “The last and large growth in the air shipping that enters and leaves EMA leads with several factors.

“The first is to locate the wise EMA of the airport as the best shipping option inside and outside the United Kingdom, and the strategic investment that is due to this. Compared to Heathrow, who is late in developing a coherent charging strategy, and has an infrastructure for old conditions, it is not surprising that EMA growth is relatively strong.”

While growth at Heathrow Airport in London is slowed compared to EMA, it is still treating nearly three quarters of all air shipments in the United Kingdom, with an annual value of more than 200 billion pounds.

More than 80 % of these goods are transmitted in passenger aircraft rings. The rest goes on charges for shipping only. This makes Heathrow an integral part of the UK’s global trading network and a major part of national infrastructure.

“The central EMA status in Midlands makes it an increasingly attractive choice to serve the northern and central regions of the UK, not only southern England.

However, investment and sites are not the only factors that drive this change – the geopolitical forces in play as well.

“Many of these imports will replace the size that moves on commercial flights to other airports – often driven by fluctuations in prices – while others will reflect the broader China axis away from the United States to European markets in light of the recent tariff movements.

At the international level, airports such as Dallas (DFW) and Brussels (BRU) enjoyed remarkable successes after investing in modern shipping operations, including facilities allocated to airlines, processors and decisive logistical companies. With additional, in addition to investing in advanced software systems, these airports now reap bonuses.

According to WARE, the EMA activity is highlighted at the expense of Heathrow, the need for a comprehensive airport charging strategy at the UK level. He said: “The universal airport charging strategy at the UK level is vital for several reasons. It will support economic growth to help achieve government export goals, enhance global competitiveness, ensure the flexibility of the supply chain, enhance environmental sustainability, and technology leverage.

“The lack of a comprehensive, coherent national strategy has created problems with Heathrow; for example, there are very few goods, and no holes are provided for goods operators, which means that they must transfer shipping shipments to other UK airports.

“Regional airports can play a major role in the UK air freight operations, but it is important to ensure Heathrow’s development to compete with its global competitors.”
