I can't believe an asset like Manston has been closed for so long. It must be one of the best airports for many a destination plus it can be used as an extra runway for London airports instead of having to build new runways at Gatwick or Heathrow. All it needs is a high speed train link into London and an upgrade of the terminal which would be a lot less expensive than building the new runways. The airport is in an ideal area for all internal and European flights and this would bring in jobs and revenue to the Thanet area.
