Manchester Airport suffered a drop in passenger numbers of 2.82 percent in June compared to a year earlier, the Manchester Evening News reports. A total of 2.12m travellers passed through the terminals last month, compared with 2.8m in June 2007.
Domestic services saw a 6.67 percent fall, largely due to stiffer rail competition to and from London. Charter traffic fell 5.2 percent as tour operators reduced their capacity following mergers. |
