The re-opening of Manston Airport will be extremely beneficial to the residents of Thanet. It will create many high quality jobs for the area which are desperately needed. The airport is only 50 miles from the M25 and therefore is ideal for freight transport to quickly link to the rest of the country. Plans have already been approved for a new high speed railway station at Manston further aiding the distribution of freight. When Manston was an operational airport my husband made many business trips flying from there, it would be fantastic to also have domestic and European passenger flights again flying out of Manston. I fully support this application.
