I'm going to pooh-pooh this tosh.
The huts in question date back to RAF days, and have been given a lick of paint. They are near E apron, miles away from B apron, the one used for passenger flights. Come on.
Yes, easy continues to talk to the airport, but this straw-clutching will end in disappointment and only give succour to the knockers.

Dunno wot this has to do with Manston though and can't see why anyone (whatever their mother tongue) can't press the little ABC Tick sign and check out on the spelling.
Methinks Hangar 9 is a lot more litterate than he give on and gets some form of kick from riting rong.

Infratil Airports Europe (IAEL) Strengthened European Airports Team
Infratil Airports Europe Limited (IAEL) is delighted to announce two new appointments to its management team.
David Leitch and Carly Arnold, both currently with easyJet,
will take up senior positions with IAEL in December.
David will take up the crucial role of Group General Manager Business Development, which has been vacant since the return of Glenn Wedlock to New Zealand in August.
David will lead the IAEL Business Development team in growing aeronautical activity and revenues at IAEL’s three airports – Glasgow Prestwick, Kent International and Lübeck.
The IAEL airports have strong prospects for passenger and freight growth and for further development of specialist aviation services including executive aviation and training.
The business development team works with both current customers and potential new customers to encourage new services and to optimise the performance of existing services.
David is currently Head of Ancillary Revenue for easyJet, having joined the company in May 2004 and has also held the position of Airport Development Manager.
During his time at easyJet David was closely involved in the successful growth of the airline in many markets including Scotland, Italy, Portugal, France and North Africa.
More recently David has held responsibility for easyJet’s Ancillary Revenue streams, specifically Inflight Retail and Online Partners. David has an aviation career spanning 25 years,
Born and educated in Glasgow, David embarked on his career in 1982 with Airport Catering Services at Glasgow Airport.
Since then he has spent the majority of his career in the Aviation and Aviation Services sector including a number of senior roles with the Alpha Airports Group Plc.
David said: “Airports and aviation are truly addictive environments, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity of joining Infratil at this moment. I am looking forward to meeting the many challenges and working closely with a winning team”
Carly will join in the role of Group Manager Product and Performance, a newly-created position at the heart of IAEL’s goal of providing quality services to customers with highly efficient processes and a low cost base.
Carly will be a key member of the Group Operations team and responsible for the identification, implementation and review of products and services. She will work with the local airport teams to review operational processes to optimise efficiency and effectiveness.
Carly is currently General Manager for easyJet at its London Luton base, which is home to 17 based aircraft. She is responsible for managing a team of over 600 crew and various third-party service providers to deliver a safe, on-time and cost-effective operation for 7 million customers annually.
Carly joined easyJet from Air New Zealand in 2002 as a Business Change Analyst and later became a Programme Manager before shifting into operations as General Manager for Bristol and Newcastle bases prior to her current role at London Luton.
Carly is a New Zealander with a First Class Honours degree in Engineering as well as a degree in Business from the University of Auckland.
An Aucklander born and bred, Carly moved to London over 5 years ago with her husband, keen to live in another country
and experience other cultures. She was one of Management Today’s 2006 “35 Women Under 35”.
Infratil Airports Europe Chief Executive Steve Fitzgerald welcomed the new appointments, commenting: “We are delighted to have attracted new team members of the calibre
of David and Carly into these key positions.
“It is immensely satisfying that exceptional people from one of the world’s leading low cost airlines can see the potential of IAEL and want to be part of its exciting future.
“The Infratil Airports team is the equal of any airport management team in the world, with a strong blend of local and international talent from airports, airlines and other sectors of industry.
“I am confident that by bringing talented and motivated individuals such as these two on board, we are laying the foundations that will ensure that Infratil has a very bright future in the airport sector.”

Must be a bit worrying for old Catflaps now then? Something positive's happened and there's more to come . . .

But surley fresh blood means fresh ideas? Added to that, they both have come from a company that has expanded a lot in the last few years. Or am I just being to positive about this whole thing?

Perhaps its the start of bigger things, perhaps in Manston, perhaps in Prestwick, perhaps its nothing... Perhaps 2+2 is making 5 and perhaps it has nothing at all do with Manstons future.
I don´t see how these events can be considered newsworthy in relation to Manston along with some of the other dribble that gets posted in this thread re colours that buildings have been painted or even that a plane did circuits and bumps.... For an airport that has done nothing (apart from the Eujet fiasco) in the last 40 years why have things changed all of a sudden and why do people take the airport so seriously? My (intended to be) humerous post on the last page was for precisely this reason.
Yes, it would be great if Manston went on to bigger things but lets try to have some balance and objectivity in the reporting... at the moment its someone saying "I saw a seagul" and a response of "Aha, that was a precursor to a new start up from India, BS Airlines launching flights with a B747 to New York via Gibralter." To which someone replies "no way" only to be told "Anything could happen in the future, why be negative"... Page after page of dribble if you haven´t already got my point.
Before anyone doubts my intentions, yes I do support Manston and would like to see it expand (or better put utilized) but wishful thinking isn´t going to help the matter. Does being a realist signify that I´m anti Manston??? Like I said lets just have some objectivity and balance in the reporting....

I don't know the two people recruited from easyJet, but it's a fact that they've left a successful and growing company: they must have their reasons.
Their skills, experience and contacts will be invaluable in developing Infratil's business with Locos, so let's applaud this as positive news for the group, and potentially very good news for Manston.
Last week (Sun - Sat) MK ran 4 flights in. Up to today this week's tally is 5.

Good News?
Depends who you are.
One person has been brought in to fill a vacant post.
The other has been brought in to "optimise efficiency".
You don't need a degree in corporate-speak to know that this normally means redundancies.

Cargo
Talking to a air cargo agent a few days ago, he informed me that MSE would be getting a lot more cargo in the short term a lot more than last year.
Is this right ? are more cargo flights coming in ?
He also said most cargo was moving out of the london airports in the longer term.
Any ppruner have info about this ?.
He also said MSE has no operational problems can be used 24/7 is this right.

Perhaps you can help me with this legal agreement in place with the local council prohibiting movements between 23:00 and 07:00.
Are you saying that the current airport owners have made some agreement ?
Where could I find info about this please.

euroairport,
rather than rely on deliberate terminological inexactitudes, I suggest you read the current S106 for yourself on
http://www.thanet.gov.uk/PDF/RevRep-290405.pdf
In 2005 a night-flying policy was agreed for a period of 6 months: EUJet died before it could be reviewed. See
http://www.thanet.gov.uk/PDF/KIA-Nig...Policy2005.pdf
I believe at least half a dozen residents of Thanet have complained to the Council.

Three points
What I make of it.
(1) The new owners have made no such agreement ?, it's all plane station stuff.
(2) People complain about anything, the fact at least half a dozen residents of Thanet have complained to the Council is very small.
(3) With the sea on three side I would think it's a good place to have an airport.

Point 3
euroairport....
You'll be shot down in flames. The fact there is sea on three sides will stir up the old 'that is why there is such a small catchment area' argument.
