I believe that an airport in this area is a vital link for the south east with initially freight. The other airports in the South East area are clogged with flights and relieving them of a lot of freight will free up space for the passenger flights to run more timely. Road links from the airport are good. An operational airport will allow the air-sea rescue to be based there as it is close to the busiest shipping lanes in the area. There is also plenty of room to house an a repair hub for aviation. As things progress and improve passenger flights can be introduced, giving opportunities to travel from a local airport. The area is lacking jobs for qualified personnel and the development of the airport will provide much needed employment
