The month of January 1979 saw a total of 138 extra cargo charters at Rotterdam due to a strike from British truck drivers. Initially British Air Ferries would operate 9 flights a day between Southend and Rotterdam. Mainly with cigarettes from the UK destined for the Middle-East. The harsh winter delayed several flights. 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.

The Dutch vegetable import company J.vd Berg signed a contract with the Ethiopian company Maeso Agricultural Estate to import 150 ton's of paprika and green beans. On 13 January 1979 the first Ethiopian flight touched down on Runway 24 but failed to stop before the runway edge, and ended up to 150 meters further in the soft grass and mud. During the night the remaining fuel was drained from the 707 and the 40 ton's of vegetables had to be unloaded by hand due to the soggy ground. The next morning the 707 was light enough to be towed out of the mud. In the evening the 707 was ferried to EDDF.
