Manston Airport is a purpose built airport already in situ with the necessary road infrastructure together with the possibility of a High speed train link, it just requires a company to implement a feasible plan to operate Manston as a airport again.

Both Gatwick & Heathrow Airports are full to capacity.

There is a tremendous amount of objection to the proposed building of a third runway at Heathrow.

Building an Airport in the Thames Estuary as originally proposed originally by Boris Johnson is not cost effective & would destroy the wildlife in this area.

I honestly believe that opening Manston as a airport once again is a cost effective common sense solution to easing congestion at Heathrow & Gatwick Airports.
