That's a solid enough result given the circumstances. The heady double-digit growth seen in the Spring was never going to be sustained and it's a long haul back to 20 million but still achievable in this financial year. A winter beckons without headline grabbing new routes, but consolidation is not a mere consolation in these times. I expect that the August figures nationally, to be released by the CAA in a few days, will show Manchester's position is an enviable one. The attrition from charter to scheduled is still marked, this never seems to quite hit the bottom, surely it can't be much longer before we see that.
Cargo figures still needing to be viewed through the fingers, though.
