They are divesting themselves of under performers by cutting their losses and out. The commercial failure can be placed quite simply at the door of their management who have failed to recognise that Thanet is a deprived area and airport customers need to come from afar. The lack of a Manston International on the high speed rail line, an underground rail link to Thanet's main shopping area Westwood Cross and the poor transport links generally mean this airport is doomed to be a sleepy backwater in air transport scenario. The decision of FlyBe to cease their operations at the airport shows that the airport isn't commercially viable. To make it so, you need to get the connecting services right then offer slots at a knock-down price to Michael O'leary or similar. The night flights plan was simply a desperate action by a failing operation to make ends meet not an expansion option. The Council is wise to hold onto its cards until the situation becomes more clear. Manston seems to have been Thanet's DeLorean. As far as the Council's earlier approach all I can say is "Ever been had!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491979293469345296.post-91008533151804141062012-03-10T12:13:28.216+00:002012-03-10T12:13:28.216+00:00The man's unintentionally hilarious!
