## Description

Humberside is a passenger and offshore-helicopter airport rather than a freight gateway, a distinction that sharpened when Eastern Airways, long headquartered here, collapsed in October 2025 and took the Aberdeen service with it. KLM's link to Amsterdam Schiphol, up to three times a day, is now the only year-round scheduled route at Humberside Airport (IATA: HUY, ICAO: EGNJ) near Kirmington, North Lincolnshire, and the sole connection carrying regional belly cargo into a global network. Dedicated air freight is negligible: the last reported throughput was about 123 tonnes in 2016 and has been scaled back since, with no cargo terminal and no freighter traffic on site. The field does matter for the North Sea, where CHC flies offshore missions to oil and gas platforms and wind farms, including work for Ørsted, after Bristow and Babcock moved to Norwich in 2016. TUI adds seasonal leisure flights such as Palma de Mallorca. Larger or time-critical consignments from the region route through East Midlands Airport (IATA: EMA), the UK's leading dedicated cargo airport with DHL, UPS and FedEx operations some 110 kilometres to the south-west, or through Manchester (MAN). The Humber's real freight story is maritime: Immingham and Grimsby on the doorstep form the UK's largest port complex by tonnage, with the customs infrastructure to match.
