More than one million passengers are set to fly through Manchester Airport this Easter, with bosses confident there will be no security delays as seen this time last year.
The school holidays for Easter are always a particularly busy time for flights, with this year no different according to the airport. Manchester Airport bosses estimate that a total of 1,174,362 passengers will fly from or arrive at the airport over the Easter break.
This is compared to 1,038,175 last year – a 13.1 per cent year-on-year increase. It was around this time last year and in the months leading up to Easter that the airport regularly made the headlines as massive queues and long delays were seen. It was due to passenger numbers rising dramatically following the dropping of Covid travel regulations.
