another website is quoting Andrew Cowan's weekly email to MAG staff:
"Passenger numbers continued to grow in December and reached 1,435,470, which was 99,000 or 7.4% higher than December 2013. Overall in 2014, 21.973 million passengers travelled through the airport and we expect to exceed the peak of 22.262 million reached in July 2006 over the coming months."
So MAN didn't quite make it to 22million after all. Looking forward to the busiest year ever in 2015 though hopefully.
Interestingly, MAN have actually declared 22,055,258 inc transit pax, which, lets face it, are valid passengers. Heathrow would be half the airport it is if they didn't declare terminal lax after all.....
