The increase extension is to replace the 2 years lost to litigation and is in line with government policy. The HRDF has been inoperative for 2 years. We are looking to confirm that if it is no longer needed we won’t replace it, but if it is, we will. #Manston

Capacity constraints at SE #airports will soon damage the ability of UK business to trade at the volumes @GOVUK growth plans require. LGW, LHR & STN are years from new #capacity; Manston already has approval to become a freight hub & can open in 4 years. bbc.com/news/articles/cy08q9…
