It's just a pity that all this energy being expounded on it's behalf doesn't translate into actual business.
There has to be a reason. Could it be that it's in the wrong place and
without a significant catchment area. A massive runway, few ATC restrictions, and in the South East, an area desperate for runway capacity,yet no airlines fighting to get in.
Do the math! As they say in the States!

Those that are in the know are very aware of the actual business being created at Manston.
With the launch of ticket sales for Norfolk Virginia going on sale very shortly, the ongoing freight business with MK Airlines which is rumoured to increase the additional charter freight that has recently increased and 2 more regular freight services about to announce routes into Manston, i would say that represents a significant increase in "actual business"
