Those are funny times. I'd assumed they would be using a Dublin based aircraft.
It is all about the connections and marketing though; if they get that right then I'm certain they can be made to work!
Even Manston managed to hold down flights to Amsterdam, and Margate probably doesn't have the huge number of people visiting from all over Europe and the world in relation to a university and a lot of industry that Cambridge has!
AMS appears to be £145.90 return at the weekend.
EasyJet on the same dates easyJet from Stansted was £88 (weekday) / £95 (weekend) for broadly similar times and including a 20kg bag. This is certainly a lot more attractive during the week, but probably about as attractive at the weekend.
Dublin seems to be £158.50 during the week and £97.50 at the weekend. Ryanair are wanting £132 for flights at broadly similar times and with a 15kg bag (v 23kg), so in that case I certainly would be using CityJet!
