I'm not doubting the "aspiration" but is 16 at one airport in isolation from others actually plausible ?
Would those same airlines not be also looking to put a similar number into eg Birmingham or some frames into say Leeds ?
OR is Manchester soaking up that capacity ?
If it's true re Manchester then surely there must be increases elsewhere.
On that basis where on earth do 50 / 60 737 A320s suddenly materialise?
