The re-opening and development of Manston will-

  • Provide a nationally valuable facility in increasing airport capacity in the South East, this being vital post Brexit
  • Make a massive contribution to the re-generation of the deprived area of Thanet by creating thousands of jobs, both in the airport and in related businesses in the area.
  • The construction/development of the airport will also provide many jobs for the local population
  • The airfield has excellent road and rail links with London and the national motorway network.
