[textarea]Manchester outperforming other UK airports

Manchester Airport welcomed 2.2m passengers in September, a year-on-year increase of 5.2% that was well above the UK-wide average of 3.8%.

This is the airport's 16th consecutive month of growth and takes the moving total for the year to 20.64m passengers.

The airport is attributing part of this success to its 'Fly Manchester' campaign across the West Midlands, Lancashire, Merseyside and Yorkshire, which is helping it to attract more passengers from its catchment area.

[textarea]Manchester Airport sees strong start to winter

The number of passengers using Manchester Airport increased by 6.6% to 1.88m in October, its seventeenth consecutive month of year-on-year growth.

The airport attributed the growth to new routes from airlines including Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2.com and Thomas Cook, and said that in total it would offer over 153,000 additional seats this winter compared with last.

Ken O’Toole, chief commercial officer for M.A.G, the airport’s owner, said: ‘This summer was our busiest in five years, as we reaped the rewards from successful campaigns like ‘Fly Manchester’, and saw passenger numbers grow to over 20m, but we want to see that growth continue into the winter season.

CAA stats March 2014

1,434,504 passengers were handled in March, down 0.9% on March 2013. Atms were down2.9%. Rolling 12-month figure - 20,762,371.

Probably the virtually flat month was mainly down to the later Easter this year.

CAA stats broken down.

As mentioned, overall 0.9% down, but growth was achieved in 3 out of the 5 areas.

Domestic was up 1.21%
International was up by 41,927 pax or 4.19%. It now accounts for 1,041,929 passengers.
Private aircraft passengers were up a massive 39.13% to 1088 passengers


Charter was the area that really dragged MAN down. Obviously down to the late Easter holidays, falling from 251,131 to 194,288, down 22.63%. Freight was also down, but only by 30 tonnes which is not even half as bad as it has been lately.

Manchester will definitely break through the 21m passenger barrier this year. It currently stands at 20,905,560, just under 95,000 short of the mark, and Ryanair alone are adding well over 140,000 extra seats this year, let alone the other growth!

What sort of traffic would you like to see, and I'll try and pin down a good day for that type of movement.

The long haul and european that do not operate every day would be very useful please.

 

[User0001]

No problem seasider. Ill start a separate thread entitled 'Manchester-what, when and where', which will give the basic jist of things.

I think MAN is heading in the right direction of hitting the 23 million mark fingers crossed :s_cool

 

[User001]

August preliminary stats out.

Up 5.45%, over 2.6 million pax this month, and now over 22.8 million pax year to date, so 23 million possible as September looks strong too.

Freight is the big pleaser, up just under 11% and now over 100,000 tonnes carried so far year to date.

Freight is an area that is really picking up ex MAN. We have an AN124 here now to take some freight to Iraq, Qatar upgrading to B77W for cargo reasons, Lufthansa Cargo have a new 4th weekly flight, DHL starting B757 operations later this month and Air Bridge Cargo want to bring the B747-8F in for USA routes ex-MAN next year.

Things look very rosy indeed.

 

[User001]

Manchester is on course to break through the 23 million passenger mark by the end of 2015.

Will be another big milestone crossed.

Hopefully 24 million can be reached in 2016, there should be enough increases to get to this.

I published the below post today in the Aviation Industry forum but because not everyone reads this forum I've copied it to selected airport forums.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still no April stats releases so it's no use expecting May's yet. The CAA has now put this message on its website.

Estimated release dates
With the launch of AvStats, the system that processes airport and airline data, there is a delay to the release of published reports. We will update this page as soon as further information is available.

No indication when April's stats will be out, let alone May's. Yet another example of an organisation introducing a new IT system that clearly was not tested properly.

Addendum

There is considerable discussion about this on another website.

One suggestion is that the airports now provide figures to a third party that verifies them before they are published by the CAA. This is due to a new EU edict (yes, I know but I can't verify that this is true) and leads to airports being fined if the figures are not produced in a certain way.

Another suggestion is that figures are fed to an automated system that verifies them against a CAA-held data base. It is alleged that the CAA systems are incompatible with accepting the figures from the automated reader and, anyway, because so many of the criteria held in the CAA data base are either wrong or incomplete airports are continually being told their figures cannot be correct although they may well be.

It appears matters were much more efficient when people sat down with calculators, pens and pieces of paper.

 

[Dobbo]

I think you expect a bit of disruption when a new system is introduced. However, this delay is infathomable.

It is also frustrating to see the breakdown of where the airlines are doing well (or not) from MAN. Allows us to make reasoned predictions, which we can't at present...
