Can only find top 30s, but MAN is not listed in them.

To give you a clue. For 2005 Long Beach (LGB) is listed as number 30 with 353'011 movements. Manchester has "only" 234'835 movements. By comparison, Atlanta was #1 with 980'386 movements.

In Europe Charles de Gaulle is largest with 522'619 movements (world ranking 11) followed by Frankfurt (490'147 #16), Heathrow (477'888 #17) and Amsterdam (420'633 #20).

[quote=dave@MAN[/quote]It must be high as it is a very busy airport[/quote]Respectfully, that argument is a bit pale. MAN only has two runways, one of which is closed half the day. So it does not take much to appear busy. A good number of airports in the world ranking have numerous runways. For instance, Atlanta and CDG have 4, Schiphol has 6, Atlanta has 7 (with more proposed) etc.

For environmental reasons apparntly, Manchester is extermely "Environmently Friendly"

Just incase you didnt know,

Here is Passenger numbers, so this might give you an idea!

2004's (2005's dont think its been published)

44 - Honolulu (HNL) 21 971 556
45 - Dubai (DBX) 21 711 522
46 - Manchester (MAN) 21 544 199
47 - Shanghai/Pudong (PVG) 21 124 233
48 - Kuala Lumper (KUL) 21 058 572

in 2005 i think MAN handeled around 22,000,000 pax, but not sure!

Seeing as we're on thr topic of MAN, does anyone have the passenger number for recent years? Would like to know how much of a rise there's been.

In 2003

46 - Manchester (MAN) - 19 022 485

And you have 2004's so you can see a big rise there!

Some earlier passenger throughput and movements (rounded):

1965: 1.4 million, 47000 mvmts
1975: 2.7 million, 68400 mvmts
1980: 4.4 million, 83300 mvmts
1985: 6.2 million, 95600 mvmts
1991: 10.8 million, 151600 mvmts
1994: 14.8 million, 168000 mvmts
1997: 16.1 million, 168300 mvmts

MAN also handicapped by lack of full-length parallel taxiway to 24L/06R which means that when 24L is in use for landing, aircraft have to go in the loop and wait for a break in traffic for them to backtrack down the runway.

I would imagine typical movement rates in peak periods are between 55 and 60 per hour, slowing to around 30 in single runway ops.

For the past few years, I'm pretty sure that MAN has been in the 45-50 bracket of worldwide airports in terms of pax.

I would imagine typical movement rates in peak periods are between 55 and 60 per hour, slowing to around 30 in single runway ops.

R2 was designed to allow just slightly over 60 movements per hour, from memory.
