I totally support the re-opening of Manston Airport as a working airport for the following reasons:- It will improve job prospects for the community It will add to the economy The Airport can take some of the air traffic from the other London airports; the area has good road networks. I would like to see Manston airport used for passengers travelling abroad, not just for cargo, again this would help the economy in the area and help employment. It would take away the traffic going to The London Airports, easing congestion on the M25. The long runway has a part to play in increasing the much needed airspace in the South East. Local businesses will thrive, again, great for the local economy. The company, Riveroak is willing to invest in Manston Airport as they see Airport as a significant part to play in aviation.
