This paragraph caught my eye.

"Meanwhile, the highest-paid director at MAG – understood to be its chief executive, Charlie Cornish – was awarded an extra £500,000, a rise of 25% taking his total remuneration to £2.5m".

What for ?

Given the airport was losing money that increase could only have come directly from the funds that were given to the airport from the shareholders in Gtr Manchester?

There has incidentally just been a phone in on 5live about transport chaos but unfortunately it might as well have been called the Man Airport debate".


Not sure who the travel correspondent was but she said that "Man Airport have this morning issued an apology but seemingly admitted they accepted slots from airlines in advance knowing full well they didn't have the operational structures in place to meet the throughput."

She went on to say
"that is an extraordinary admission of failiure ".
her words not mine !
