Employee information (Page 53) The average number of persons (including executive directors) employed by the Group during the year was: 2011 2010 .. Number Number By location Manchester Airport 2,072 2,040 (a rise of 1.6%) East Midlands Airport 245 255 Bournemouth Airport 125 129 Humberside Airport 149 151 Total 2,591 2,575 an increase of 16 staff (a rise of 0.62%) Meanwhile CAA provisional data show there were 18,806,098 passengers in 2011 and 17,662,873 passengers in 2010 at Manchester Airport (not all the MAG airports), so a rise +6.5%. Staff at Manchester airport up + 1.6% in 2011 Passengers at Manchester airport up + 6.5% in 2011 It would be great if the airports employed more people per thousand passengers, rather than less, each year.
Airport Master Plan:
Consultation in summer 2006. Published late 2006 or early 2007. Key details of Master Plan: Manchester Airport’s master plan claims that:
“For every 1 million air passengers, 3,000 jobs are created nationally, 2,000 regionally and 1,425 in the immediate sub-region.” (this is highly unlikely to be true).
“In 2006, the Airport handled over 22 million passengers travelling on around 226,000 aircraft movements. Over 100 airlines now serve over 200 destinations worldwide. The Airport is one of the UK’s major cargo airports, handling 151,000 tonnes of cargo in 2006.
“The forecasts for Manchester suggest that by 2015, the Airport could be handling some 38 million passengers a year, and that this could rise to around 50 million by 2030. We broadly agree with the forecasts in the Future of Air Transport White Paper.”
Aircraft movements are forecast to grow to 353,000 by 2015, and cargo throughput is forecast to grow to approximately 250,000 tonnes by 2015.”
The airport finished Terminal 2 in 1993 and the opening of the Second Runway in 2001. Manchester is now the only UK airport, beside Heathrow, to have 2 main runways. That gives capacity for the future and we have no plans for a 3rd runway.
Future expansion that the airport wants:
Figures from the Committee on Climate Change report (December 2009) show the DfT considers that Manchester Airport might have a runway capacity of 500,000 ATMs per year by 2050, and might have 449,000 ATMs annually by then. (http://tinyurl.com/ybczeenpgs 27-28) This compares to around 162,000 ATMs in 2009.
