Mark. I flew from Southend a couple of years ago for a golfing holiday, a lovely little airport.
Also Manston is not going to be a passenger operation, it is for the freight business . I gather the hope is for increased freight from countries outside the EU such as the USA Brazil Australia etc. At best passengers will be an add on, the terminal catering for a million passengers a year is optimistic to say the least.
The owners have stated they intend to offer passenger services but you are correct it will primarily be for freight.
Interesting to see if short haul passenger travel demand recovers post covid. I read that Boeing and the FAA were working on the renewed type certificate for the MAX. Big news for airlines and passengers if so.
