Doesn't such a sparsely populated area mean even more reason to shut an underused airport ?
Did that give good reason to close Stansted?

Manston Closing
We always seem to have public enquiries when a development for an airport is put forward why not one for the closure just to find out if there was/is a hidden agender.

THE American firm behind the rejected Manston airport offer has been named as RiverOak Investment Corp LLC of Stamford Connecticut.

One should be careful to ensure RiverOak is viewed accurately. They are there to make a profit primarily - fund managers in Conneticut are unlikely to have a particularly strong sympathy specifically to either employees at Manston or to spotters living in Thanet.

Riveroak are developers - not airport specialists
Look at their website Real Estate Investments - RiverOak Investment Corp.
it's all about "normal" real estate
"We believe in scope and depth. Stephen DeNardo and George Yerrall bring a combined fifty-five years of national markets experience to bear on behalf of RiverOak investors. The Operating Principals have acquired, managed, underwritten, developed or provided capital with respect to over 320 million square feet of private real estate investing across the U.S., with expertise in medical, office, retail, residential and other sectors."

...and of course all the companies base at Manston that will also be forced to close down. BBC News - Aviation firm fears for future if Manston Airport closes
Also AvMan Engineering Ltd that operate out of a purpose built hangar at Manston and maintain BA 146's. I wonder what will happen to them?
