I believe that Manston as an up and running airport is vital to the future of Thanet in that it will bring much needed jobs to the area, boost the economy of the island further as well as being a freight hub I would eventually like to see passenger jets using the airport making it easy for people in east Kent and beyond to make use of the airport for foreign travel.I believe that a thriving airport will attract more businesses etc to the local area, Thanet is an area of high deprivation Manston as an up and running airport is vital to its regeneration, Manston as an up and running airport is also a part of the Islands history and a part of our heritage given the part it played in the Battle of Britain.
