Manston Air Base (OO42), also known historically as Kent International Airport, is currently not operational for commercial passenger flights. It ceased all passenger operations in 2014. Therefore, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences to summarize for this facility in its capacity as a passenger airport.
While there are ongoing plans for its redevelopment, with the primary focus on reopening as an air freight hub, passenger services are only a potential future consideration, with no firm timeline. Current projections suggest the airport could become operational for cargo by 2027 or 2028. An airshow is planned for August 2025 to celebrate its revival, but this does not signify the resumption of commercial passenger travel.
Given its non-operational status for passenger travel, it is not possible to provide a summary of traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, security wait times, or transportation connections based on recent experiences.
