Dual Runway Ops at MAN / EGCC
Significant difference between today and when the permission for R2 was granted is the extreme peaks in traffic that are experienced at Slot 2 (1300 - 1600) due to the increased number of short haul routes by based aircraft.
This, added the the 'usual' increase in traffic towards the evening period means that dealing with flows at these times whilst on single runway operations is becoming more challenging - hence the decision to increase the hours of dual operations.
Surely this must be a cause for celebration for everyone who has the best interests of MAN at heart and the huge role it plays in the success and promotion of the North?
