I'm sure I heard a local from Doncaster (overheard whilst in a queue) that Robin Hood Airport is closing and that would affect the cargo operators there who would need a new hub and logistics solution. Perhaps more of the MM airports will follow suit through no fault of their own ? Anywhere that can offer 24/7 operations would be safe obviously, so Manston would have that as well. I had also read somewhere that all regional UK airports were slated for closure by 2030 to follow the edicts of the WEF, so depending on how seriously that would be followed the "UK commercial aviation needs consolidation, not more mickey mouse airports" wish might happen. Who knows ? Not the man in the street, that's for sure!
