East Midlands Airport saw the highest overall percentage increase for the month of April, serving more than 300,000 passengers – up 25% on 2022.
Service levels across all three airports remain strong, with 99% of passengers at East Midlands Airport getting through security in under 15 minutes. At London Stansted the figure stood at 98%, and at Manchester Airport the figure was 96%.
Why is Manchester airport still a significant laggard on security ? Admittedly the 8 hour queues of last year are gone... but the security screening process at MAN still seems to be struggling rather more than (for example) Stansted.
I ask also from personal experience. Currently, it all seems a rather chaotic experience if you don't have fast track access
