To me, it doesn't matter is another airport is growing percentage point faster than MAN.
What matters is the core growth, as we know 10% growth on a figure of 1000 is better than a 12% growth on a figure of 100. The other airport may be growing faster percentage wise, but, the this airport will have the better actual growth. It's nothing but a
PR headline grabbing piece to claim you are 'fastest growing'.
What's important for MAN, is that they have just surpassed the 23m rolling year point. There is more than enough potential to get to 25m next year, and, we are not even out of route announcing season, with Air China, Pegasus, Monarch and other airlines waiting in the wings to add new routes. Just yesterday we had yet another new route and yet another increase on a long haul route. Even though it's November, the time is still young for 2016 routes.
