Kent International Airport poised to get commercial passenger flightsCommercial passenger flights may soon return to Kent International Airport after a survey revealed people in the South East were in favour of the move.
Some 71 per cent of those polled said scheduled commercial passenger flights from the International Airport were very important, underlining the huge demand for the services.
Matt Clarke, Chief Executive of Kent International Airport termed the response an "excellent vote of confidence" which he said would boost the airport's efforts to re-introduce the services in the county.
He said: "We believe that Kent International Airport has a major role to play in delivering passenger services to the residents of the South East.
"This was reinforced by the fact that more than three out of every four of respondents have been inconvenienced at other London airports due to the distance and travel time, traffic, parking and long queues and crowding when they get there."
The return of the services is expected to have local economic benefits
