Manston gets two, not one

MANCHESTER as a new destination was the surprise announcement last week when Flybe introduced its Manston to Edinburgh daily service. The airline is to launch daily services to the North West (except Saturday) from 6 September using Bombardier Q400 aircraft, the first ever scheduled route between Kent and Lancaster.  Flight time to Manchester is 1 hr 5 mins and Edinburgh 1 hr 30 mins.  Manston has had no full scheduled services since the demise of EUjet in 2005.  The airport is to the east of Canterbury and borders on the towns of Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate.  The port of Dover is just 15 miles away. www.flybe.com
