§ Mr. KilfoyleTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what throughputs were projected for Manchester Airport's second runway; and what the actual throughput is. [85617]
§ Mr. JamiesonIt is estimated that by 2030 the throughput of Manchester Airport could range from 40 million passengers per annum (mppa) (if no new terminal capacity is provided) through to 70 mppa (if growth is facilitated and concentrated at Manchester). This equates to the runways handling between 300,000 and 440,000 Air Traffic Movements (ATMs) per annum.
In 2001, Manchester handled 19.1 million passengers and 182,000 ATMs.
