Should the shuttered Manston Airport in Kent be revived as a major international cargo hub?
Manston Airport in Thanet, Kent, has been closed since 2014, but developers have secured permission to reopen it as a dedicated air freight hub capable of handling over 10,000 cargo movements annually. Proponents argue this regeneration project is vital for Thanet, one of the South East's most deprived districts, offering thousands of jobs and relieving freight pressure on Heathrow. Opponents, including the 'No Night Flights' campaign, argue that the low flight paths over the historic harbor town of Ramsgate will cause unbearable noise pollution and that increasing aviation capacity contradicts the UK's climate goals.
