The month of January 1979 saw a total of 138 extra cargo charters at Rotterdam due to a strike from British truck drivers.

After 17 January BAF stopped operating to Rotterdam because they got a better contract flying parts between Ford factories in the UK. Transavia took over the flights to Southend.
