Consider Manston Airport with High Speed rail as a credible third London Airport

Petition Details

Manston Airport is being left to deteriorate when it really could be considered as a credible London third runway alternative. Manston’s runway is 2,752m, long enough enough to accommodate any commercial aircraft. With development of High Speed rail, travel times to London could be less than an hour

Additional Information

Manston’s runway is 2,752m, long enough and wide enough to accommodate any commercial aircraft type.
Manston was regularly used for flight testing and crew training (e.g. British Airway’s A380 and the 787 Dreamliner).
The area surrounding the airport is home to a developing cluster of aviation-related businesses. There are significant areas of land around the airport identified for development within Manston Airport’s masterplan – which can offer direct air-side access if required.
