- As an existing infrastructure it should be allowed to further develop.
- Kent is in need of new business opportunities with a ready made workforce.
- The Riveroak group have shown good plan and financial evidence of their commitment
- East Kent has a proven track record of freight movement with a busy port (Dover) excellent road connections with 2 motorways. Good national investment in the high speed rail network.
- Manston is located close to London but outside the busy London ATC control zone allowing for busy rapid Cargo airfreight movements.
- Future airfreight will grow and especially longhaul freight which requires a large easy access runway.
