The two airports, which are part of Manchester Airports Group (MAG) along with East Midlands, were boosted by the October half-term holiday as the recovery in international travel gathered pace with the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
MAG served a total of 2.7 million passengers as a group in October, which marked six months of sustained passenger growth at the three airports, although this total was still down by 49% on October 2019 figures.
