aeulad I also have my doubts regarding this latest rumour as I take anything related to Manston with a pinch of salt!
on a serious note, much like with the boro and their recent lack of real transfer activity, MME does need to attract a more steady stream of new operators and destinations. I know very little can be taken for granted in the industry but obviously the likes of bmibaby, easyjet, ryanair announcing new routes fills you with more optimism than some unknown operator starting out!
I am sure Hugh Lang and his team are working flat out in a fiercely competetive marker but on the back of losing Ciampino and BRS in the recent past, despite being softened by the announcement of the weekly TFS and BRU, MME deserves more of the bigger boys like FlyBE or Wizz Air taking a calculated risk as has happened at DSA.
