BHX5DME,
April 2009 had Ryanair at full throttle before their big sulk and pull out from MAN. To pull back to 2% of passenger numbers without them isn't bad going. Now MAN have great middle east links (A380 services), shuttle links down to and connecting in heathrow/ gatwick, other hubs etc., 'new' terminal buildings, 2 runways, a good 'local' airline (Jet2.com), Flybe looking at further french development, significant EZY development and Ryanair back. I'm sure you will only be happy to congratulate MAN when further future expansion occurs!
Kind Regards,
