Hi all I am new to this forum.

The arrival of 5X-JCR this morning brings the rumour to the forefront.
We heard just over a week ago that DAS Engineering had vacated the
hangar it rented from BA at Gatwick.

Word was that they were talking to Infratil about taking over their old
MJSC hangar for maintenance AND moving their flights to Manston.

Today's flight was positioning. It's on the main apron, and the port
engine has been removed; ergo, maintenance is being carried out.

Talks are continuing............

Plus Kent Escapes might add more hoilday routes this winter or next year.

Manston is not really made for LCC but more charter flights.
