Is Manchester turning a corner? Once one of the best airports in the world with awards to prove it and now the new revamps, which I think look fantastic by the way, are making the place look more appealing to it's customers.
One thing that I have noticed is that people seem to be avoiding MAN for LPL as it is more quite or as they say "Manchester is too busy," "too many people" etc. I think more space is what the airport needs and a new pier would bring that. By doing this it gives the passenger the perception of the airport being less busy. I know it is little things but these can make a big difference.
I personally love flying through Manchester because of the 'hussle and bussle' and while I sit and have a coffee I can people watch and wonder where all these '000s of people are heading - it's great!
Long live MAN and I hope the good reports keep coming and expansion and revamp continues!
