Crewmeal Manchester Airport doing well?
PASSENGER numbers at Manchester Airport dipped below two million last month as consumers continued to rein in their spending, figures showed today.
The number of travellers who passed through the terminals was 1.95m, down from 2.14m compared with the same month last year, a fall of 8.8 per cent.
Charter traffic saw the biggest drop, down 13 per cent from 852,757 to 741,813.
A spokesman said: “In common with the industry, when compared to last year, September’s passengers numbers are down.
“This is a consequence of people being more careful with their money although the all-important annual summer holidays still took place.
