I believe Manston Airport can provide the viable capacity if it expanded its few aprons to thirteen plus, offering reliable capacity for cargo carriers that currently operate over in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol this hasn’t been done in the past due to its previous owner failing or not intending to expand because of other interests. Infratil sold to [Redacted] for £1 with her intending to run it for two years, yet less than six months she closes it, rejects Riveroaks offer of the full asking price of £7M. Can this be classed as Corporate Vandalism?
February 2015 saw the HOC Transport Select Committee question AG’s team, this meeting has concrete evidence that AG had interests in Manston Airports Land for housing (865 Acres), please read the minutes of the meeting and watch the video[Redacted]
If Riveroak has its portfolio of carriers to provide profitable capacity and bring jobs to Thanet/Kent, tapping into related industries, education apprenticeships, Colleges and Universities this will bring the needed jobs rather than the houses that us people in Thanet do not want, because the existing road structure from Westwood Cross to Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate is at gridlock.
Thanet District Council and Kent County Council also need investigating to why all the above has happened.
