For those of you have British friends or indeed if you’re\u00a0a Brit yourself, you should\u00a0know very well how important a Custard Cream or a Bourbon\u00a0is alongside any cup of tea.<\/p>\n

You may have heard that last year storm Desmond rampaged through the UK destroying homes, shops and factories in its wake. What you may not be aware of\u00a0though is that the storm also wrecked havoc on\u00a0the Mc Vities factory (think digestive biscuits, ginger nuts and hobnobs)\u00a0in Carlisle and that biscuit production has been put on hold ever since\u00a0causing a shortage of biccies in the British Isle and a steadily rising level of panic amongst the Brits who, as a result, are not getting their daily biccie fix.<\/p>\n

Well, our heroes over in Emirates know exactly how vital a good biccie is with a cup of tea and\u00a0came to a speedy\u00a0rescue by flying\u00a0out two 777 Emirates SkyCargo planes from Johannesburg in South Africa, via Dubai \u00a0and on to Doncaster Sheffield Airport filled to the brim with 90,000kg worth of yummy yummy biscuits.\u00a0And not only that, it was actually the first time an Emirates plane has ever landed in Doncaster Sheffield \u2013\u00a0all in the name of tea and biscuits.\u00a0Hear Hear Emirates, you legends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to this new relationship the Great British public have been able to enjoy a biscuit with their cuppa.\u00a0We were delighted to welcome Emirates to Doncaster Sheffield Airport. This new relationship shows that our cargo operations are going from strength to strength and our reputation for handling cargo flights from around the globe is growing.\u201d<\/p>\n
