Unless you are on the board of Infratil you will have no idea on the discussions.
The amount of money being lost at MSE at present is a spit in the ocean compared to Inftratils other highly profitable ventures.
There has been lots of talk on this board about how wonderful the prospects at Lydd are, but ZD makes 15 people redundant! This is probably a shot across the bows of the local council to make them consider more quickly the planning applications. But if Lydd is cutting back on staff and Manston is recruiting surely this tells you something is happening at MSE.
Lydd has been lauded for having the environmental impact survey and for trialing 737 landings but why, they are certainly further behind MSE in the race to become a regional airport. And with the redundancies surely this was a misguided publicity stunt and waste of money.
