  • Firstly Manston airport is a national treasure.
  • Manston Airport would create skilled jobs and apprenticeships for a very deprived area
  • There are good road links and with the proposed high speed link the airport would have good connections and could support passenger flights
  • the south east is short of runways epecially one capable of taking the aircraft that Manston can take, so it does not seem logical to close the largest one in the south east.
  • Manston could take the pressure off the larger passenger airports by taking the cargo and free up more slots for passenger flights.
