Yes, MANFOD, 521,000 according to CAA. But a smaller number/percentage than STN whose airlines don't offer connections! I don't want to imply that MAN should disregard the connecting market, but the periodic obsession with 'hubbing' seems out of proportion to reality.

Does anyone remember those old ads by MAN about the "morning wave" of connections from America, etc etc? It didn't amount to much then, and it is very unlikely to in the foreseeable, I'm afraid. MAN's core business will remain the outbound leisure market, and there are plenty of opportunities to grow that core market.
