Manchester airport is the third-biggest in the UK and the only hub, other than Heathrow, with two runways. Twenty five million passengers travel through Manchester airport every year but it has the capacity to carry 55 million
So plenty of spare capacity already - not like LHR handling 75m!!
Navpi - you need to read the press release again. The added flights are an
option and would be introduced
after planning approval following extensive consultation. The Government doesn't have to agree to it.
