Yes, I know the answer to how much ATC and fire cover will cost at Manston. And I know how much it costs to employ cargo handlers. Whilst I could enter into the detailed debate and start quoting facts and figures I think you miss the point. Start with looking at the team assembled to bring this project to fruition. Collectively do they have more, or less experience than you when it comes to investing in, and running airports?
Do you think that anyone contemplating spending £300m on a project would do so on a whim? Or would do so without knowing for certain the detailed history of the night flights situation, or would do so without knowing which cargo operators would support the airport?
