Why not Manston? would like to see Manston reinstated as an airport for the following reasons:

  1. To bring prosperity to an extremely deprived area
  2. To provide numerous jobs that are above the living wage
  3. To educate the next generation in aviation subjects
  4. To utilise a huge runway to alleviate the pressure on Heathrow and Gatwick
  5. To free up airspace that is becoming a scarce resource around the London area
  6. To offer (at a later date) passenger services
  7. To possibly alleviate the need for another runway at Heathrow or Gatwick for many years to come
