About Us
Welcome to the website of the Save Manston Airport association.
Save Manston Airport association (SMAa) is campaigning hard for the return of Manston Airport to commercial aviation use. RiverOak Strategic Partners (a British company) wish to have up to 14 cargo planes per day, during normal day-shift working hours, with passenger flight to follow later, as part of the application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) with the Planning Inspectorate.
For the latest updates, join our Facebook group here:
In addition, you can also register on this site in order to gain access to our extensive documentation on Manston Airport. We can also then keep you updated by email, particularly with news on Reach-Out events - so please subscribe to our newsletter.
The association is continuing with its reach-out across Kent, for the next stages of the Development Consent Order, and beyond.
Thank you.

TG Aviation
TG Aviation was founded at Manston in 1982. Unfortunately, they announced their closure in 2022 after over 38 incredible years of service to the aviation industry and community.
This was as a result of being forced out of Manston by the previous owner who closed the airport in 2014.
To continue operating, they had to move to Lydd Airport and Penthouse Farm for their Stearman operations.
