Traffic boom continues
Meanwhile, at an airport near you, traffic continues to boom. Passengers up over 7% on August last year, and running at nearly 20.4 million p.a. , movements up too. Could be close to 21 million by year end. A second daily A380, temporary but sure to be permanent before long, increased dual-runway hours, Saudia coming back next year, and who knows what else. Bad news is getting harder to find at MAN these days. As long as investment keeps ahead of demand, the future looks decidedly bright.
