Manchester Airport Terminal Moves

Swanky - Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport

With the major redevelopment of Manchester Airport's Terminal 2 approaching its final stages, multiple carriers have confirmed their relocation plans to the newly renovated facility. The £1.3 billion modernization project has equipped Terminal 2 with an impressive array of retail and dining options, featuring premium brands like Chanel, but also the airport's first Wetherspoon pub. How people coped until now I do not know...

Upon project completion later this year, approximately 70% of the airport's passenger traffic will utilize the enhanced Terminal 2 facilities, while Terminal 1 operations will cease entirely.

Manchester Airport has recently confirmed the transfer schedules for several carriers, including Aer Lingus, Luxair, and Finnair, with additional airlines scheduled to make the transition during the autumn months.

The relocation timeline for carriers moving to Manchester Airport's Terminal 2 is as follows:

• Aer Lingus and Aer Lingus Regional - Transitioned September 16 (completed)

• Luxair - September 22

• Finnair - September 24

• SAS - October 6

• Loganair - October 20
