If most of EuJet's flights were operating at near capacity , and the only reason for it's economic failure were the 'highly paid staff' why is it
that Ryanair and Easyjet aren't beating a path to Kent International's door?

I have a feeling those who were there did not know, and that was the
problem. The whole EuJet enterprise was like watching a slow motion tram
smash. Everyone else in the industry knew exactly what would happen.

Wrong aircraft, wrong business plan, wrong airport. Like so many other
professionals have stated since the 1960's, Manston has no catchment area,
no surface links, and therefore no real future as a scheduled service airport.

Perhaps one day when a motorway and rail link are built, but certainly not now.
