I am bit surprised at this with so many airports reporting record June figures I just got this idea Manchester would be pushing a double digit increase with the extra easyjet and Ryanair based aircraft although it is clear that domestic and IT dragged it down.
Don't forget its all about size and perception. A 3.8% at MAN is equal to a much larger increase at a smaller airport, and in some cases, a 3.8% increase when you are at a +20 million level is much more than a 10% increase at a -4 million airport.
