New routes to Vegas and Shanghai are booming
Manchester Airport says it has broken another record - as the latest top 10 passenger destinations are revealed.
Dubai was the most popular single destination during the month, but two airports in Turkey and four Spanish airports made the top 10 destination list. Buoyed by half-term getaways, bosses said October was the 13th consecutive month the airport has broken its passenger record and comes after the airport joined the so-called '30 Million Club' by recording 30.1m passengers in a 12-month period.New routes have also proved popular.
"That's why it's always good to see new routes doing so well. Shanghai and Las Vegas are two destinations we were very excited to add to our network, which was already the biggest of any UK airport outside London. We always expected them to be popular and that has certainly proved to be the case. Manchester Airport's multi-billion pound transformation programme will be completed next year. When it is finished more than 70 per cent of its passengers will use the brand-new Terminal 2. The first half of the new Terminal opened in 2021 and the second is on track to open next year.
