Precarious situation
Manchester Airport is facing major financial difficulties, which will shortly involve large-scale redundancies of middle-management. This inside info has come from one of the people privy to the plan for "streamlining the operation".
It should be no surprise to any regular user of the place, or any employee. The proverbial will hit the fan in January. Traffic stats are poor and getting worse. Revenue streams from the grotesque retail areas are way below forecast. Profit projections are so low as to be causing serious concerns with many financial organisations.
What a pity. Mismanagement on an award-winning scale. The airport will limp along, no doubt, but will lose its place as a major international link. And sadly, jobs will go at all levels of skill.
