That is the most in its 77-year history, beating the previous 12-month record set in July 2006 of 22.26m.
Ken O’Toole, managing director at Manchester Airport, said: “This is a magnificent achievement, an historic milestone for Manchester Airport and UK aviation, as well as a huge boost for the economy and the North of England."
