During June 2014 six charter flights departed Lydd Airport for Naples and Verona. This was the sixth charter flight arranged by Newmarket Holidays, the Boeing 737 was operated by the Lithuanian Airline, Small Planet Airlines. The Airport at Lydd was chosen after Manston Airport closed recently. Plans are afoot to lengthen the runway and build a new terminal to cater for more big jet movements despite vociferous local opposition.
