A Sensible Point About Heathrow

I usually listen to Wake Up To Money on BBC Radio 5, as I lie in bed before getting up.

Sometimes very sensible nuggets of ideas, news and facts are broadcast.

Today, an aviation analyst called Julian Bray, spoke about the masses amount of cargo going through Heathrow and how a lot was very inefficient.

He said, that if you chose Alitalia to send a parcel from th UK to New York, it would go to their cargo shed at Heathrow, where it would be sent to Fiumenicino Airport in Rome by truck to be put on a plane.

How efficient is that?

He was calling for a tax, that would force inefficient parcel carriers out of Heathrow and use the extra capacity for passengers.

I wonder if that well-known Third World airline; Air Neck End, has a cargo operation at Heathrow to bring in the dictator’s purchases made using money stolen from his people.

Seriously though, go through the list of airlines that serve Heathrow and they’re all there;  Air Cocaine, Air Corrupt, Air Crashing, Air Delay, Air FGM, Air GoneTomorrow,Air HangemHigh, Air Islamic State, Aim MoneyLaunder, Air Useless and Air Wanka

Sounds like a case of Brown Envelope Syndrome to me!
