For a while GRX lost all its International routes until BA introduced its LCY-GRX route but unless one lives in Essex or London itself LCY to anywhere is a joke...
GRX... smashing little airport, Granada voted most beautiful Spanish City 2016...
The Manchester catchment area is huge covering the Midlands right up to The Lakes and as far as Edinburgh and across to and including Yorkshire. That coupled with the very well-healed areas of Cheshire and North Yorkshire make Granada an ideal market for UK city breaks. MAN has grown considerably in recent years with 'niche' routes such as OPO, VRN etc. being an important part of that market. Perhaps take a trip to the North West when you are back in the UK - you might be pleasantly surprised.
