Flybe taking over the Jersey route is pleasant enough, but doesn't constitute an increase in capacity or activity.
Also, what's all this about freight at Manston being "on the up".
Planestation were achieving 4000 tonnes a month at one point.
Freight is now running at around 1300 tonnes during the seasonal peak.
Freight at MSE yo-yo 's up and down, and always has done.
I realise some visitors are still keen to talk MSE up, but please don't lose sight of the facts.
