The stands amd car park is a pardox though.
Increased flights = more passengers
more passengers = more cars
more cars = more stands turned into car parks (at MAN anyway)
But then from the other side
more stands turned into car parks = more cars
More cars = more passengers
more passengers = increased flights (but now not enough stands)
What irks me is not that MAN sees a good revenue in car parking, its the fact they know they have stand shortages (hence the regular no divs notams), but, they own so much land that could be used as car parking (MAG own the land adjecant to the logistics hub for example, as well as the land in the triangle between the railways, and lots of brownfield land in Heald Green), yet, aircraft stands, for aircraft, the reason the cars are there in the first place, is deemed the best solution?!?!
