HC Deb 11 June 1976 vol 912 cc790-1W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what proportion of overseas visitors landed at or left from Manchester Airport during 1976.

Mr. Clinton Davis

It is estimated from the International Passenger Survey that in 1975 1.7 per cent. of total arrivals and departures of foreign residents by sea or air, excluding journeys to and from the Irish Republic, were through Manchester Airport. This is equivalent to 2.6 per cent. of foreign residents travelling by air. More recent figures are not available.

Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how many passengers arrived at and departed from Manchester Airport during 1976; and what proportion of the national total this constitutes.

Mr. Clinton Davis

Figures compiled by the Civil Aviation Authority show that during 1975 there were 2,579,288 passenger movements—arrivals plus departures—at Manchester Airport. This constitutes 6.2 per cent. of all passenger movements at airports within the United Kingdom. More recent figures are not available.
