MAG has now taken on more than 2,000 new recruits to shore up its operational resilience, with service levels across the group – which comprises Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands airports – now back to normal.
The group on Wednesday (7 December) revealed it returned to profit over the summer in the six months to 30 September as passenger numbers rebounded to 84% of pre-Covid levels.
It posted a half-year operating profit of £22.8 million, up from a loss of £75.7 million during the same period a year earlier, while revenues increased by £158.7 million to £538.8 million.
