Manchester Airport statistics for May 2025

 

[Scottie Dog]

Finally, and rather belatedly, here is my take on the load-factors for April. This is based on flights taken from FR24, seating configuration from Planespotters.net and the CAA data file tables 12.1 and 12.2

It's interesting to see the increase in the Singapore load-factor now that the flight only serves Manchester.

June statistics are now available from the airport website.

Thanks for posting the June figures, Scottie.

Anaemic passenger growth and a significant decline in freight. It will be interesting to see the percentage growth figures for other major UK airports in June - is it just Manchester that has had poor figures, or is it indicative of the UK economy in general?

 

[Scottie Dog]

I'm afraid that I'm rather behind with my various statistical reports, for which I apologize.

Please see below my take on the top 25 routes for April, by passenger numbers, and the top routes by percentage change.

I seem to remember that it was expected that June would be low for some reason or the other, with Bangladesh and Jordanian missing for a month and bit both making a reappearance and Kuwait and Qatar upgrading plus Indigo starting July should be up

Rolling total 31,534,328

June - 3,019,924. +1.3%

Many thanks for confirmation of the numbers in post #1285.

Many thanks for confirmation of the numbers in post #1285.

Ah, apologies.

Didn’t read up.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Ah, apologies.

Didn’t read up.

Best twice rather than being missed.

Based on the movements data from FR24, the seating configuration on Planespotters.net and the latest CAA reportm here are my calculations for May's load-factors.

 

[Scottie Dog]

My final report for May, based on the CAA data is now available and produced below - E&OE

 

[Scottie Dog]

Please note that due to an accumulated error in my own records for May, the rolling year figure was incorrectly shown. I have now corrected post #1,294 and it now shows a figure that is more in agreement with the airport's own records.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Statistics for July have now been supplied by the airport and they are attached herewith. I also, out of interest, attach a copy of the movement summary sheet that I keep from my daily log and it's interesting (well to me) to see how relatively close the numbers are to those of the airport.
Finally, I have produced a comparison of airline percentage share of movements, which I hope you may also find of use.

Good to still see some growth albeit at smaller rate.
My 12m rolling figure is 55k less at 31,633,880

With the CAA having provided the data for June, here is my take on the load-factors for specific routes.

My final offerings for June's data are the top 25 routes by passenger numbers and by percentage increase.
