Manchester Airport is one of the UK's busiest airports. One-third of the UK's population lives within 2 hours travel of the airport, which handles more than 22 million passengers every year. Manchester Airport's three passenger terminals serve more than 225 domestic and international destinations.

Manchester Airport is the largest airport in the north of England. Handling more than 22 million passengers a year, it is expected to become the UK's second busiest airport in the next 15 years - with passenger numbers forecast to increase to 42 million per year by 2015.

Manchester Airport benefits greatly from its location. One in three of the UK's population lives within 2 hours travel of the airport, which offers flights to more than 225 destinations - including many major European and American cities. When the airport's second runway opened in 2001, it was the first new commercial runway to be built in the UK for over 20 years, highlighting the rapid scale of the airport's growth.

Manchester Airport is easily accessible by road, rail and bus. Located just to the south of Manchester alongside the M56 motorway, it has comprehensive parking facilities and also has its own railway station, connected directly to the terminal buildings by moving walkways.
