Fact
Guys during EUjet operations even the marketing team at MSE were amazed at the percentage of pax that were being attracted by EUjet from South London. I admit this was most probably due to the very cheap seats on offer.
However, why oh why is everyone so hung up on onward travel to London? The potential pax who will use Manston will come from Kent, Sussex and Essex.
Pax who want to travel to North London will not use MSE.
Just because Gatwick, Heathrow, City and Stansted are called London Airports it does not mean that the inbound and outbound passengers only come from London.
Get a grip!! Whilst it is possible to fly into Southampton and then hop on a train to London in about 75 mins SOU does not claim to be a London Airport nor would it be regarded as such but it is handling nearly 2million pax

PS Catflaps, I do agree Boris won't be Mayor but I think the jury is out as to whether Gordon holds on.
