I wish to cover several points:

the importance of the airport to both the local and the wider regional economy, to include the regeneration of one of the poorest areas of the SE, re-establishing air links for leisure but primarily business flights, aiding the renaissance of Margate and Ramsgate as major tourist destinations and the growth of English language schools, providing additional airfreight capacity for direct imports and exports such that roading such loads to and from continental airports becomes less attractive.
