Terminal capacity

Whilst unlikely April's 17% increase can be sustained for the full year, if it were we could be looking at around 29m pax for the year, almost the level for which the Transformation Programme is planning for by 2025. That suggests that the new facilities are likely to be inadequate before they are even started (never mind completed).

My question, therefore, is 'what next?' What is being done to a) cater for growth in the period until T2 is extended and b) expand current plans to accommodate growth beyond design capacity?

There is a risk that if not addressed, the passenger experience will decline even further in the intervening period putting people off flying through MAN in future.
