Also due to only using one runway. Yesterday afternoon on single runways there were aircraft queueing past T3 blocking inbounds. Used to be able to defend MAN when people slagged it off but there really is nothing good anymore.
The passenger experience is dire at MAN now. Especially in T1 & 3. Admittedly T2 is not a bad experience for pax but for now I do not want to see any new routes/expansion. The airport just cannot cope. The TP is 10 years too late and too small. Escalators, lifts and moving walkways broken, the safety hazard that is T3 and absolutely dreadful Piers on T1.
MAN is close to becoming the worst passenger experience in the UK. STN is worst for me as it is far too overcrowded with people blocking routes through the terminal.
I despair to think what foreign visitors first impressions are of the UK (and Manchester)
