Manchester Airport set to welcome 1.1 million passengers this Easter

The airport is expected to welcome more than 1.1 million passengers through its doors as they take to the skies this Easter.

Passengers will fly to 158 destinations on more than 7,300 flights over the two week break, with Dubai topping the charts as the most popular destination this year as the Middle East hub presents itself as a great connection to destinations all over the world. Other popular destinations include Dublin, Alicante, Tenerife and Amsterdam.

“Easter is always a hugely popular time to get away, as people look to take advantage of the school holidays and grab a bit of Spring sunshine,” commented Manchester Airport managing director, Chris Woodroofe.

“We’re looking forward to a successful Easter and have put a range of new measures in place to make sure passengers see the airport at its best. In February, more than 95% of people got through security in under 15 minutes and we’re confident we will maintain that over the Easter period and into the summer.”
