Is it true that every 1 million passengers creates 1,000 jobs?
Far from it. You’ve only got to look at airports that have the kind of passenger business that Manston hopes for to see the truth:
Bristol – 439 jobs per million passengers.
Bournemouth – 408 jobs per million passengers now, and expected to fall to 247 by 2015
Prestwick (another Infratil airport) – 248 jobs per million passengers, and that was before the last two rounds of redundancies.
