Losses have been slashed at the owner of Manchester Airport thanks to "pent-up demand" that was released when Covid-19 restrictions eased.
Manchester Airports Group, which also includes London Stansted and East Midlands, has reported losses of £28.2m for the six months to September 30, 2022, compared to £105.2m during the same period in 2021.
Revenue increased from £159m to £537.6m while group passenger numbers jumped 362.1% from 6.6 million to 30.5 million, 84% of pre-pandemic levels.
