RE. the terminal extension, I wonder if MAG plan to (finally) install an airside transit security area? Hopefully they would have the space to do this with the departure lounge set to get bigger.
Stansted tends to fall back a little over the full calendar year .
That said combined the MAG estate is a success for sure enough.
Think Manchester currently has more movements and the rate of recovery has been remarkable especially in the current wider economic malaise.
Given there are no network carriers present, UK screening and re screening border and security demands, why invest in airside transit facilities , who would use them and pay for their upkeep ?
