You appear to have fairly big anger issues with Manchester Airport.
The airport is successful in terms of growth and profits, bearing in mind it's had to claw back a lot of passengers that were lost post world financial meltdown.
Had that not happened I have no doubt it would have a throughput higher than it currently does but certainly not in the Gatwick territory.
The projections for future growth are always going to be difficult and in some cases are clearly way off the mark.
All airports are guilty to some degree of massaging the potential passenger figures and in the case of Manchester they were bold to say the least. However the airport has proved and is proving to be a success and can offer a great deal of connectivity for many millions in the North.
The fact it hasn't got 37-39 Million passing through the terminals is now irrelevant.
Airlines see it as very viable and the numbers of passengers using it will continue to climb. Whether it's Ryanair or Cathay Pacific it all equals more passengers/profit and more access for businesses and individuals alike whether inbound or outbound.
