Complain-o-matic

KIA may occasionally fall short of their own exacting standards, what with acts of God, circumstances being beyond their control, and life generally difficult and unfair. All too often, the upshot of this is that planes end up in the wrong place at the wrong time; too low, too late and too loud. When this happens, you may feel the need to tell them what you're thinking.

Here are some easy ways of contacting Manston right now:

1) Click HERE and you will magically materialise in the secret corner of their website where they hide their complaints screen.

2) Click HERE to produce a part-completed email, pre-addressed to the only email addresses I have found that work (if you know of any others, do let me know). Give it a try.

3) Call them on 08707 605 755.

Email a link to this page to anyone you know who may find it useful. Please let me know if you think of any improvements.

New readers start here

Some background...
  • Manston Airport is owned by a New Zealand-based company called Infratil.
  • Infratil have signed a 'Section 106 Agreement' (S106) with Thanet District Council (TDC) which regulates how Infratil can use Manston - they can't suddenly decide to turn it into a spaceport and launch satellites, for example.
  • The S106 states that Infratil isn't allowed to schedule any night flights, although a scheduled flight that arrives late can actually land.
  • A night flight is any take-off or landing between 11pm and 7am.
  • Infratil have said they want more night flights.
Here's a chance to make your voice heard. If you don't want night flights, sign the petition. If you really don't want night flights, get other people to sign it too.
