With the greatest respect Turtle you miss the point entirely.
What is the point in spending a billion if it will not be any better? Manchester does not staff the existing security channels now. Manchester does not fix exit doors that have been u/s in T1 & T3 for weeks- if not longer. Is it acceptable to wait one hour for the extra security bag desk? Is it acceptable to wait 30 minutes for fast track security?
To blame the passenger for delays beggars belief.
In the last 3 weeks I have passed through Manchester, Helsinki, Tallinn, Vilnius, Oslo, Riga, Dublin & Southend airports- The ONLY holdups I have had anywhere is in Manchester.
Nobody is asking for a red carpet- just that they treat people with respect.
My colleague is VP at a giant global company based in HKG. He travels constantly around the globe in all continents. His only hassle is at MAN and I cannot repeat the texts that he has sent me about our airport. He has in fact just this week re-arranged his next European tour schedule so that he visits the UK using CX out of T3 at LHR purely to avoid this place.
The fact that certain airlines, the DfT & the CAA have had words speaks for itself.
- Anyway, I shall give this Manchester mutual appreciation thread a rest for a while now & leave you all to grumble about your customers that pay your wages. Goodbye.
