CAA Stats 2022
Manchester saw 23,364,471 passengers use the airport in 2022 up 284% on 2021 (6,085,103)
Aircraft movements were 158,575
 
Being the FY end, the FY to-date is the same as the Moving Annual Total for which the total shown is 2019.
You're right Scottie, still some way to go. April will be important with Easter falling in the month for both years I believe.

The 4 months June - September will be key and while the ACL slot report shows a reasonable increase in seats and movements vs. 2022, I'm not sure it will be sufficient to bring us up to 2019 levels for calendar year 2023. It would have helped if long haul hadn't been disappointing for this summer, at least as far as the US is concerned. I would also hope to see CX back up to daily, and, given their expansion at BHX and LGW, Saudia to go daily before the end of the summer. If Gulf Air remain at 2 x weekly given their high LFs, it would be puzzling, bearing in mind they originally applied for daily slots before reducing to 4 x weekly. And Etihad have not reintroduced their second flight. We can but hope for good news when the winter schedules start in terms of new airlines and routes.

Expansion by the 3 big short haul carriers will be welcome, assuming bookings match the extra capacity.

But it's not just MAN alone we should be looking at. It's how MAN performs compared to the likes of LGW, STN, BHX and LHR for example that will be a better guide of progress.
 
It's reported today elsewhere by A400 on the Gulf Air thread that MAN is increasing frequency to 4 weekly from May 1st should nudge MAN figures in the right direction.

Having written my piece, I've just read on SPD Travels twitter that GF are taking up those extra 2 weekly slots. Good news.

MAN doing a lot better than BHX and many others in terms of covid recovery
 
Pegasus are increasing by 3 flights a week on SAW and maybe going 2xdaily by summer and using larger aircraft
 
My apologies for the late submission of these reports for February,
but a combination of factors has been the cause of the delay.

Anyway, here goes, with the analysis of routes by passenger numbers and percentage change:

February 2023
View attachment 28282

We now look at the load-factors for February - my European records only started in March 2021 and so I have only compared February 2022 & 2023, however for the Intercontinental routes I can compare February 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023.

Next I can offer a comparison of each carriers share of movements:

Finally a summary of the number of movements each day and also the available number of seats for the routes in my "Load-factor" tables:

I hope that this analysis has been of interest.

April 2023 pax

STN – 2,350,679 down 1.6% on Apr 2019

MAN – 2,176,450 down 8.9% on Apr 2019

EMA – 312,361 down 20.6% on Apr 2019



Manchester Airports Group (MAG) served 4.8 million passengers in April, as passenger operations continue to ramp-up towards the peak summer season.

MAG, which owns and operates Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands Airports saw year-on-year passenger numbers increase by 16.4%.

London Stansted and Manchester Airport both served more than 2 million passengers each, totalling 2.4m and 2.2m passengers respectively. Stansted’s overall figure was up 16% on last year, with Manchester’s increasing by 15% year-on-year.

East Midlands Airport saw the highest overall percentage increase for the month of April, serving more than 300,000 passengers – up 25% on 2022.

MAG’s rolling 12-month passenger total to April 2023 stood at 54.8 million passengers – up 123% on the total to April 2022.

Service levels across all three airports remain strong, with 99% of passengers at East Midlands Airport getting through security in under 15 minutes. At London Stansted the figure stood at 98%, and at Manchester Airport the figure was 96%.

In April, MAG welcomed the publication of Sustainable Aviation’s (SA) updated Decarbonisation Roadmap. Formally launched at the Sustainable Skies Summit at Farnborough, the Report set out the progress the UK aviation industry in making in the roll out of low and zero emission flight technologies. The Road-Map also explained how the UK could position itself as a world leader in aviation decarbonisation, but that increased support from the UK Government is needed to ensure this opportunity is not lost.

The Government’s Jet Zero Council, of which MAG is a founding member, also convened for its latest meeting at the Sustainable Skies Summit to discuss the industry’s progress towards net zero by 2050.

Many thanks Ian for those figures. I'm off for a couple of days but, hopefully, I can start looking at my usual analysis on my return.

All checked in for my flight to Sydney from Manchester via Heathrow. Been waiting for this trip for nearly a year and now tomorrow I'll finally head to Australia and New Zealand!
If anyone would like to share their local airport news right here in our news area let me know so I can give you the correct permissions to do so. It only takes a couple of minutes to upload a news story with an accompanying image. The news items can then be shared on the site homepage by you. #TakePart #Forums4airports Bring the news to one place!
survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
