Are you saying that you would use a larger, more congested airport that was an hours drive away, even if you had a local airport with a decent range of services? Tbh, I would prefer rather the second option, as it would be hell of alot less stressful!
No, my point was that for many people Manston is out of the way – there are few people that live near to it, whilst road and rail connections are poor. The simple fact is that it’s a local airport for few people.
If you consider that MSE is alot smaller than LGW, it would be quieter and less congested at check-in, and as there is relatively little traffic there at the moment, it would seem an ideal opportunity for the likes of EasyJet, Ryanair or Flybe to set up at least some small services…bearing in mind the whole ‘low-cost’ approch includes the use of secondary airports!
easyJet do not have that approach at all. Their business plan is about principally using, where possible, the main, business airports as destinations to suit business passengers travelling to the cities.
