I want Manston to be retained as an operational airport;
- To alleviate some pressure from the larger London hub airports
- To make the most of the sizeable runway to provide a diversion option for larger aircraft (such as A380), and for ultra-longhaul flights (LHR-PER)
- Create new business opportunities for related onward industry, as a result of new cargo arrivals
- Provide training and employment in specific aviation related roles, in the local area
- Boost tourism and an interest in up and coming parts of the county
- Allow the flying school to return to their home and continue to grow their business
