Runways and traffic
Runway 2 (05R-23L) is normally closed 1030-1600 local Mon-Fri, and longer at weekends.
Runway 1 project going well and more or less to programme. With the new electrical ducting substantially in place it is entering the complex phase to replace the runway/approach lighting, and the surface. Various runway exits will be closed for periods - watch those NOTAMs!
Pax increase of 10% and aircraft movements at around 7% in May, as reported. Rolling 12 month figures have now gone positive for the first time in what, 3 or 4 years? Those who have known life at MAN for a while will agree that you can feel the change - the place is coming back to life, it can be pretty busy out there now. Still some way off how it was five years ago but it's going in the right direction now. I would say MAN is on track to regain 3rd place in the UK pax throughput table within the next 12 months.
