Good news if you fly from Manchester Airport to the USA. £440m investment in Manchester Airport has been announced.

If you fly from Manchester Airport to the US then expect the airport to be vastly improved as the Manchester Airport Group is to invest £440 million into the final expansion of Terminal 2. 

The planned improvements to Terminal 2 will include:

  • Doubling the size of the existing departure lounge, with a wider selection of shops and food and drink outlets, showcasing the best of what the North has to offer
  •  
  •           - The construction of an additional security hall, fitted with next-generation security scanners.
  •  
  •           - A new pier, matching the look and feel of the first pier that opened in 2019. It will include spacious gates
  •  
  •           - A new dual taxiway system to improve airfield efficiency, with flexible aircraft stands
  •  
  •           - More than doubling the terminal's hold baggage capacity to over 5,000 bags per hour, with two new teardrop check in islands.

Completion of Terminal 2 will be in 2025. Once open it will see the closure of Terminal 1, originally opened in 1962. 


Happy US travels.
