Comment from ChrisGR31
A fair comment re actual door to door times.
Southampton is indeed different to Manston, it also has stiff competition from Bournemouth but what I was suggesting was that a small operation would have a chance of success from MSE providing it was well funded and well managed. Dont forget the it is not necessarily being suggested that the aircraft or crews are based at MSE!!
For the final time I hope, not everyone that flies into LHR,STN and LGW either come from or go to Central London!!!!!!
There will always be complaints, dont forget we are talking about and airport with aircraft that make a noise!!!
