Manston is not closed. It's operating normally (!), and there are "three offers on the table".
With the destruction of the debt there is an opportunity for a new owner to get things moving. Planestation never had any cash, and what they had was squandered on pie-in-the-sky projects around the world. Just look at the list of airports that they've dumped since M May took over.
EUjet was also short of cash, and had an incredible business plan. The cash that was wasted on ludicrous routes!

Visitor to KIA Manston last week
Overheard in the "Jolly Farmer" in Manston. David Bryon (MD of BMIbaby) was seen flying into Manston last week and was met for a 2 hour meeting by the airport director and someone from EUjet. Flew in one of his company aircraft, had the meeting then departed.........anyone heard any more ?
Today\'s rumour is that Bmibaby is interested in Manston.
