EU Jet proved there is some demand. Now how cheap your prices have to be in order to attract this demand is a matter for debate but Im sure the local Kent market could sustain more flights than currently offerred.
Taking HUY for example, with competition just 45 minutes or so away, still manages to maintain a decent portfolio of flights which shows that a small local friendly airport is appreciated by passengers. Im sure Manston can do the same for Kent
Good to see freight doing well
