MORE than 18 million passengers used Manchester Airport in the year up to October.
Traffic through the summer showed an average increase of about seven per cent, taking the number of travellers to record levels.
The number of scheduled passengers taking international flights increased by more than 20 per cent, with domestic passengers up by more than four per cent.
Domestic passenger figures for November were 25 per cent up -- mainly due to the problems facing rail travellers.
