Should be year round daily given the size of Manchester on the international stage.
The problem for England inbound tourism is that nowhere is big on the international stage apart from for London. Yes, if you're a footie follower then Manchestet has two of the biggest names, anc if you're of the right vintage a decent rock / pop music reputation. What ought to help Manchester is the location of Liverpool, witth a rather more prominent (historic) music scene, a fairly well known waterfront and a high profile football team (Everton?).
With their short summer operation AC are essentially just there to spoil the party, mores the pity, rather than looking to serve the Midlands and Northwest market year round.
