Decline in self sufficiuency in food and air cargo capacity in the UK limited there is aneed for new capacity. Very limited number of potential sies available for the future. Requirement for qualty employment oportunities locally. Strong local support for the return of Manston airport to aviation use With existing cross chanel links close to capacity the re-opening of the airport will reduce the need for transporting cargo to the UK from continental airports, and be more efficient. Good road links and nearby railway Existing runway and fuel station. Possibility of feeder service to long-haul hubs avoiding congestion around London.
