So LBA is about 190,000 IT passengers behind NCL - an airport that has a similar sized catchment.
- MAN handles about 1 million IT pax per month.
- Previous studies / surveys have indicated that about 20-30% of MAN's throughput comes from Yorkshire.
- 190,000 is 19% of 1 million. This is the size of the opportunity for Leeds and still leaves plenty of room for Doncaster to claw back it's fair share from over the Pennines.
Ball park numbers granted, but that's what's going on. Banning people from discussing it won't make it go away.
