MAG Delivers Fifth Year of Strong Growth | Manchester Airport
Lots of highlights including this subtle stat:
In 2015, MAG’s airports across the UK, at Manchester, London Stansted, East Midlands and Bournemouth, contributed £5.6 billion in economic activity to UK PLC. This means that for every £1 the Group earned in revenue, economic activity worth another £7.20 was generated in the wider economy as a result of the activities at our airports.
Seems like a political strategy is forming.
