Manston Airport holds consultation over possible closure
A Kent airport is holding a consultation over its possible closure, the BBC has learnt.
Staff at loss-making Manston Airport were given details about the 45-day consultation on Wednesday.
The airport was bought by Ann Gloag, who co-founded the Stagecoach Group, for a £1 in October last year.
BBC South East business correspondent Mark Norman said: "I understand the business is losing money and may have to close."
The airport employs about 150 staff.
