Key 'Re-Opening' Info – Manchester Airport

 
As flights increase, and more airlines resume services, Manchester Airport continues to keep passengers safe as they travel through the Northern hub. Here is the latest information and advice from the airport to make your journey as seamless, safe and easy as possible.

Travel Corridors:


Manchester Airport welcomed the announcement at the weekend from the UK Government, which allows people to fly to more than 55 countries without the need for quarantining on return to England.

The Northern hub flies to a great deal of these destinations, giving those passengers across the airport’s catchment area who want to fly, the chance to do so safely. The change comes into effect from 10th July and the full list of countries included can be found here: www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors

It is also important to take account of the latest Foreign and Commonwealth Travel advice relating to any restrictions in your destination. This can be found here https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

Terminals:

As passenger numbers continue to increase, Manchester Airport has decided to open Terminal Two from 15th July.

This will mean all three of the airport’s terminals are operating, helping people travel safely while keeping their distance from others wherever possible. As passenger volumes increase as will the airport’s retail offering.

Some existing Terminal Two carriers will start flying before the 15th, meaning they will operate from Terminal One beforehand. The following highlights which terminal each airline is flying from and when they move to Terminal Two:
