The area of Thanet is a deprived area with a very high rate of unemployment. The re-opening of Manston airport for freight and passengers will provide an opportunity for all sorts of new jobs from semi-skilled up to highly qualified technical workers. There will also be an increase in the need for ancillary services which should result in a boost for the local economy. There is a need for regeneration in the area and the advantages of an airport should assist this.
