MAN - Quiet? !!

It's rarely quiet at MAN, although the airfield has been deathly at times off-peak over the last 2-3 years.

All that is about to change. MAN is back off the ropes, punching heavyweight, and making the headlines for the right reasons. Three consecutive months of traffic growth, and Summer 2011 slots up 12% on last year even after the handback and before the RYR announcement. At least one EU flag carrier is coming back this year (TAP), with others showing interest.

The right airport, in the right location, with the right surface access, offering the right choice of services. Profiitable, growing, British-owned, publicly owned.
