MANCHESTER 1

[GavinC]

well the list below is Europe's Premier League as measured by 20 million passengers in 2014 (taken from Wikipedia). Of these, which meet the criteria stated and which don't then? Does MAN stand out as being 'special'?


For me, Palma and Antalya stand out as having a lack of flag carrier base. Both are resort destinations of course.
Being Spanish, I suspect Palma it might have had regional money pumped into it to expand mind.
