Suzeman nothing better to do, thought you would have been getting the Reindeer ready lol!
Seriouly I think that is very good as Manchester has a lot of heritage and should
be proud of it, but as the airport is part owned by the other councils in the area they should be involved also. I think putting Chris H on information desk for
Stockport would be good and they wouldn`t need a PA system.
Happy Christmas to one and all on the Manchester forum

And it says that Durham will go from 3million to 10 million so I think this a wildly inaccurate prediction now that Peel are selling it. Time will tell though...

Iberia is a totally different kettle of fish from FR/U2 as most of the
pax are onward to South Amirica or on business so pay a much higher fare
If Iberia were to actually advertise a bit I`m sure they will see results

Topspotter, having a pop at Manchester Airport again. If as your profile suggests you work in 'ground ops' at 'EMA', ( a poxy little airport owned by Manchester Airports Group), and you don't like the way your employers operate, why don't you not be so hypocritical by taking your monthly pay cheque off them and go and work in the outer hebrides or somewhere please.

Regional Airport forecast
Really hard to take the report mentioned in MAN777's post seriously. A similar article on the report was published on The Telegraph website. The source is quoted as being the Department for Transport, who have got forecasts spectacularly wrong before now, but this doesn't even start off with accurate figures. If we are talking the timeframe 2008-2050, which is the only one quoted, where on earth are the 30 million passengers and 321,000 annual movements at MAN? Those are the sort of figures forecast at the Runway 2 Inquiry for 2005 and as we painfully know, have never even been approached. Perhaps someone at the DfT forgot to check what actually happened. But given the similar fantasy figures quoted for other airports, including Plymouth which has or is about to close, I am suspecting that a journo has got this horribly mixed up somewhere along the line. If it were April there might be an explanation.

Can't work out how the number of passengers through airports is going to "double in size" when we have airline taxes and increased queuing time at immigration (take one step forward, T1)?
Instead of automatically flying to near-continent destinations (Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Basle/Mulhouse) I now look forward to taking the train!

Whoa...1 hr flight, 1hr journey to M/cr airport, 2hr X-in, 1hr through immigration, gawd knows how long in delays adding time on....nah, for short trips the choo-choo wins every time, even if it's just getting up, wandering down to the bar/cafe/toilet to stretch your legs....
