Manston's May report:
Freight volumes of 2,260 tonnes in May, were 68% ahead of May 2008. The previous period had been depressed by the termination at that time of MK Airlines services because high fuel costs had caused its failure. May tonnage was 13% higher than April's.
In May Flybe, Europe's largest regional airline, launched a weekly Q400 service to the Channel Island of Jersey.
