It's great to be enthused about your local airport, and so you should be
at 19. But unfortunately your enthusiasm is based on emotion and not fact, and without wishing to rain on your parade, as has been said time without number Manston has severe structural and catchment area limitations.

Just ask yourself why airlines are not fighting to operate scheduled
services, where are Ryanair, Easyjet, and Flybe?

They are not there because it does not make commercial sense for them to be there. One day maybe, when there are roads, railways, and large centres of population. But currently Manston is not a high frequency short haul loco airport.


Be enthusiastic, but temper it with a degree of realism otherwise you are going to be very disappointed.
