I support the application as I am anxious for a working airport to be preserved in Thanet to provide additional access opportunities for both business and leisure.
I am a strong supporter for the reopening of Manston Airport. The SouthEast of England requires additional airport capacity which cannot be provided at existing operational airports (primarily Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted). Manston has ample capacity to serve the far southeast of England which has an increasing population and provides easy access via the A299/M2 toward Maidstone and further west in Kent and eventually London.
