Don't be silly. It's reasonably centrally located in SE England with a population of about 15 million within an hour and a half's drive If it didn't have any PT links or a motorway it would take a damn site more than 1.5 hours to reach it - the roads would be gridlocked. why would you build an airport where there were unsuitable roads? Unless you have a car you can't get to Manston yet those in power throw their hands up and say "Look, no one uses it!". Well quelle surprise. There's a loads of secondary airports that can only easily be reached by car Yet they manage to achieve a critical mass of customers - because they have a large enough local catchment Manston does not Yet oddly it worked for Hong Kong. because they closed the alternative. IS Hong Kong airport really 1 and half hours from the "city", I wouldn't have thought the province was big enough for that tim |
