You will find that the promise of quiet nights to be false. These aircraft land all times of night. .

I use to live near a railway line and you could hear it all the time but after a while you get use to it .

So what sort of timescale are we talking about here before they stop flying from STN. I mean should I run up there within the next 2 weeks to get photos of them.

Cheers, Huw:)

I think they have been saying if BAWC do come to Manston It be in May.

James

Thanet Council have voted to agree an extension to flying hours :p

They have thats brilliant news 😎 ,well not brilliant for STN and those who will lose there jobs if BAWC now move from there to Manston.

I am Glad that the NIMBY’s did not win like to see what they are saying now:D , Well done Thanet council all MSE needs now is an expainson done to its Runway.

James

I think you’ll find MSE will be offering cheaper landing/handling fees than what STN currently do, so that could partly affect the decision to want to move.

Overall though, I think this is great news for MSE if it does work out.

Seeing as the current government constantly bleats on about the importance of aviation to UK economy, I am sure the creation of jobs and potential development opportunities at MSE will warm their hearts as it will help to improve the airport’s profile; it seems to be forgotten about!

Now all they’ve got to work on is getting some more regular pax scheduled services to/from the airport.:)

I think you could be right there mate, as thats what I think Oasis did use Manston because its cheaper then to use anywhere else.

well lets hope flybe expand out of the airport if there MSE-JER route is popular.

This contract comes up for tenter every few years and they also look at LHR, LGW (Knowing they will not go to either),so they will probaly just stay at Stansted anyway.This is just paper talk !!

Well we will find out this thrusday , I am told that a signing of contracts could also take place aswel . Plus if this is just paper talk then why ask manston to allow to have night time flights? :confused:

James

It is British Airways World Cargo, operated by Global Supply Systems, possibly moving from Stansted. Only possibly because it requires an increase in Manston’s opening hours which has to be approved by the local council – and the NIMBYs are apparently already mobilising.

Which I am hoping the councill will allow, as it create jobs for the area and at this time people are looking for jobs,aswel we get to see more 747’s action at Manston ,plus it p*ss off the NIMBYS :diablo: Has BAWC been told to stop the night flights at Stansted and thats why they are trying Manston?
