With the ever present benefit of hindsight, and assuming that the original intention of EUJet was to become a sucessful airline, it would seem that had they concentrated on the Spanish and similar routes, the story today might have been different. Eujet proved that there is a market from Manston for traffic fom Kent to Spain and although the average load factors for the airline never exceeded 54%, the Spanish routes must have approched an avarage of 80%. I personally flew as a Pax on nine return trips and all of these had at least 80 passengers and two were 100%. The early days of three flights to Manchester, Edinburgh Amsterdam per day, must have drained a fortune from the company coffers, and made a wound that the company never had the time to recover from. It still seems a doubtful decision by the Banks to withdraw support just as EU were about to fly what would probably have been their busiest three months ever, bearing in mind the reported 100,000 passengers who are now owed money for uncompleted flights. One assumes the would be purchasers for the Airfield would have access to the real figures, and perhaps they can see more of a future for Manston than is generally realised.
