Most people that are against the airport reopening are saying that is due to the noise that will come with the flights and also an increase in HGV traffic. The HGV traffic will come off the dual carriageway at Mister roundabout to go to Manston. The aircraft noise has been here a lot longer than people as the airfield was originally an RAF Station. During its time as an RAF station it was a Major Diversion Airfield (MDA) which was open 24/7. Opening the airfield up to flights both for Freight and Passenger will create jobs in the local area for things like taxi firms and people required for security etc at the airfield.
