Vote against Manston Airport night flights plan
BBC 25th May 2012
Plans for night flights from Manston Airport in Kent have been opposed by Thanet District Council. At a meeting on Thursday, the Labour-controlled council voted against all night flights to or from the airport. Charles Buchanan, the airport's chief executive, said:
"We are disappointed the council is not supporting the airport as much as it could."
In March, owners Infratil announced plans to sell Manston and Glasgow's Prestwick Airport.
