Response from Manchester Airports Group (M.A.G)

The need for the development of new runway capacity in the South East of England is widely recognised. However it is unlikely that such capacity could be delivered for at least fifteen years. This means that making best use of the capacity we already have in the interim period is absolutely imperative. By not realising the full potential of airports which are currently underutilised, consumers and the UK economy will suffer as a result of higher air fares and limits on international connectivity. In addition opportunities to realise economic benefits from making best use of this capacity will be lost.
