8/10 as a website for A level / 1st year uni business studies project and certainly better than some others I've seen.
Would have liked to have seen a little bit more questioning in the survey such as "how many times a year do you fly UK<>USA" and "which airlines do you currently use".

the difference being that tha last time someone had the bright idea to fly to the u.s.a. it was to virginia, a strange destination to say the least. new york would seem a much better route or better still, florida.

Manston should investigate the promotion of fly/cruise packages.
This is one area in which they definately have the capability to accomodate the largest aircraft and the catchment area to make it commercially viable.
I would suggest that it costs operators a fortune to put such charters on from Gatwick, and a reputable agent, such as Newmarket Travel etc. have the contacts to advise accordingly.
Even if it's only 5 or 6 flights a year, that's 3000 to 4000 passengers using the airport which weren't there before.

Either or ... and never mind going to Dover when Ramsgate is less than 4 miles away.
There's a good marina there too - an imaginative company could organise self-sail holidays from Kent along the southern English coast then fly them back while someone else does the reverse trip. Anyone know if there's a Harbour anywhere close to an airport in, ooh, say Devon, maybe?

According to the online timetable, Flybe seem to be dropping Belfast altogether and reducing Edinburgh to 4/5 weekly for the winter. Does anyone know what the loads have been like? I imagine that current fuel costs and tax expenses are making it very difficult without high demand.
It's a shame that there's bad news from Manston, yet again, just as things are picking up at Southend.
Would KLM / AF / Lufthansa etc. have any chance with a daily flight for connecting traffic into their respective mega-hubs?

Edinburgh was cut back last winter, so no change. Belfast was a summer-only route, so no cut there.
EDI has had a brilliant July (helped by the Open) and a very good August, both months up on last year. After a shaky start, BHD is doing well.
Still waiting for news of the "double-daily service to a European hub".

hope it wasnt a night flight. the MAG (moaning about growth) are up in arms at the proposed 8 flight a night now in discussion with thanet council, one comment was that thanet relied on tourism for income, well it didnt cross their minds that tourist sometimes use aircraft to get to their destination.!!!
how many hotels in windsor are fully booked with tourists who know that if you live or stay near an airport, you may get some noise ?

Iran Air goes tech
Apparently one of their planes went tech at MSE on Sunday and, according to Manston Movements, the inbound LHR flight on Monday stopped off with some spares. Yesterday another one suffered a breakdown in CGN
