	Kent International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the USAF's withdrawal from Manston, the airfield became a joint civilian and RAF airport from 1960 and was thence employed for occasional package tour and cargo flights, alongside its continuing role as an RAF base.
		From 1989 Manston became optimistically styled as Kent International Airport, and a new terminal was officially opened that year by the Duchess of York.
		Kent International Airport was initially a 38 acre (150,000 m²) civilian area within the former RAF Manston including the existing terminal building and an apron where passengers embark and the largest of freighters may be loaded.

	EUjet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airport operator PlaneStation completed its takeover of EUjet in January 2005 by acquiring the remaining 70% of the shares.
		On 26 July 2005 all flights were suspended along with the operations of Kent International Airport for all bar freight traffic.
		Lack of passenger numbers are one reason cited for the failure of the airline with only 330,000 out of the 500,000 passengers predicted for the first year of operation.

	BBC - Kent Have Your Say - New airport proposal at Cliffe
		The fact of the matter is that Manston is already built and therefore there would not be anywhere as near as much cost involved, and the benefits to the area far outway any arguement against it.
		We also found out that the MOD had commissioned an EIA on Manston, this study (which we have never been allowed to see) ruled out Manston as being suitable to become a major airport on the grounds that it was environmentally compromised by being to close to Ramsgate.
		With all this talk about building a new airport at Cliffe, and the amount of time and money that will be spent on it, why not use Manston Airport, it is a ready made site and with some alterations it will achieve a less expensive and more efficient place than Cliffe.

	BBC - Kent News - Cliffe airport go-ahead would close Manston
		Manston Airport will have to close, if Cliffe ever gets developed, according to a Government report.
		Secretary of the Manston Airport Group Pete Binding said the closure probably would not matter as much as some might think as Cliffe would bring more jobs to the area than Manston ever could.
		I think it is really quite galling that these consultants have been putting proposals and options forward which will have fundamental effects on many lives and have not even had the good grace, once the report has been published, to inform the council.

	Airport fails to monitor noise pollution from planes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Aircraft noise is considered by environmental experts to have the greatest adverse impact on communities close to an airport, and planning obligations for all major terminals have strict monitoring regulations.
		Kent International Airport’s section 106 agreement, which was drawn up in January, 2005, and is due for review, stipulates that Infratil must maintain these monitoring arrangements and submit monthly reports to the council.
		A spokesman said that since taking over the airport last year, Infratil had quickly met 95 per cent of the requirements in the section 106 agreement, and that the firm is working with the council on the remaining areas of concern.

		While our assessment of the contribution of each airport is not definitive, it is clear that, taken as a group, their overall contribution to meeting demand in the South East would be very small.
		If additional runway capacity is provided at the major airports in the South East, Alconbury is forecast to handle around a quarter of a million tonnes of freight by 2030 and just over 1 million passengers per annum.

		Operators of all aircraft using the airport should ensure that at all times their aircraft conform to the noise abatement techniques laid down for that type of aircraft and that operations are conducted in a manner calculated to cause the least possible disturbance practicable in areas surrounding the airport.
		All aircraft inbound and outbound from this airport are required to conform to the following procedures, notwithstanding that these may at any time be departed from to the extent necessary for avoiding immediate danger, and to achieve standard separation.
		To facilitate this technique, aircraft should fly within the speed band 210kt to 240kt during the approach phase, reducing to within the band 160kt to 180kt at a range of 12 nm from touchdown and maintain 160kt from 8 DME to 4 DME from touchdown.
