The new owners of an airport which shut five years ago have revealed plans to restart flights by 2022.
Manston Airport has been bought by RiverOak Strategic Partners, which wants to open it once again for "short-haul and cargo flights".
Since its closure in May 2014, Manston had been earmarked for new homes and even a possible lorry park during Operation Stack.
RiverOak has confirmed a deal to buy the site from Stone Hill Park.
Director Tony Freudmann said: "We bought it to turn it back into an airport and it means the development consent order process will continue."
He added: "The current plan is to have the airport reopened in the spring of 2022 for short-haul and cargo flights. We have shown that it is financially viable."
