Manchester Airport confident of strong summer traffic as new international routes commence

The UK's second biggest gateway, Manchester Airport is steadily emerging from the downturn thanks to a pick-up in low-cost and long-haul activity, particularly from Middle East carriers. Manchester Airport's Head of Aviation Sales, William Pearson, told CAPA the airport is already starting to see strong passenger growth, "with international traffic showing a significant improvement on last year, following on from the strong performance of our cargo operation in recent months."
