I've noticed an error in the airport's freight stats and am awaiting an update.

The airport has confirmed an error in their data. The freight figure for January 2023 should read 3,901.

Figures are now available for March on the Manchester Airport website.

And here is my comparison of 2019 v 2023 - still some way to go to catch up.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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.
