AndyS, costs presumably? Significant fuel saving operating from an airport on the coast might sway them. However, I have no idea of the catchment area size, or type of business In the area. Someone has compared it to Humberside, which has petro chemical and shipping industry, and around 1million people in the immediate vicinity paired with a long drive to MAN, Im not sure how it holds up against Manston. SEN would make more sense to me.
