Manchester Airport operates under Manchester Airports Group (MAG), the UK’s largest airport group that also owns London Stansted and East Midlands. Based in Manchester, England, it serves as the North’s global gateway and handled 25 million passengers in 2023. The airport hosts 49 airlines serving 196 destinations across four continents and operates two full-length runways, a capacity not common among non-London airports. The site is undergoing a £1.3 billion transformation programme to upgrade facilities, with completion targeted for 2025. Its operations connect airlines and travelers to international and domestic destinations, supporting broad connectivity. In 2026, the airport announced new routes, including an African destination, as part of its ongoing network expansion.
