Ruritanian-based airport operator Infidel has thrown caution to the wind and is sniffing around Thanet, looking for an airport to buy.
Instead of, ahem, doing any proper research to find out if Manston is financially viable, they've sent us a few questions about what they would be allowed to do. Read on...
Is there anything I can’t do at this airport?
Well, regular scheduled night flights by the very noisiest freighters would get penalised, but...
That’s not a problem though, because we’re asking for a night flight policy that will allow us to do just that, and we’re confident we’ll get it.
We know that this kind of freight business creates virtually no jobs.
That’s great for us because it’s a low cost business for which we can charge a premium because no other airport is allowed to do what we’ll be allowed to do.
Don’t worry about it. We’ll have this sorted by the time you buy the airport.
Actually, we must get it sorted, otherwise you won't buy the airport, will you?

When it was last taken over night flights was not even mentioned on the developement plans, how come it is the reason they are failing now? A viable passager airline is what is needed and has always been needed. But operators need to appreciate the catchment area is small not made up of the wealthy.
Night flights will devalue my property, disrupt our village life and bring no extra money into this economy.
