Feel like MAG have this thinking that they don't need to bother with upgrading the airport or any of it's facilities as most passengers are just there for a cheap flight. The airport needs to fall into capable hands because they've run it into the ground. A couple of years ago I flew from Singapore to Dubai, then into Manchester. What a massive culture shock it was to travel through two world class airports then arrive at a dump like MAN which still feels like it's stuck in the 90's with the low ceilings, outdated architecture and broken facilities.
