Manchester Airport's passenger numbers topped 1.6 million in January 2023, more than 90% of those seen pre-pandemic in January 2023 and twice the number a year ago, according to Manchester Airports Group (MAG).
MAG, which also owns and runs London Stansted and East Midlands Airports, recorded 3.6 million passengers during the month, with 1.8 million passing through Stansted.
MAG said "operational performance" had also improved, with 92.4% of passengers waiting for 10 minutes or less to pass through security checks in January 2023.
“We are now fully focused on continuing to improve the passenger experience ahead of what promises to be another busy summer," said Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airport.
