Manchester Airport has opened the latest phase of its redeveloped Terminal 2 departure lounge to passengers.
The UK airport, part of Manchester Airports Group (MAG), this week unveiled a new area of shops and restaurants within the original part of the terminal.
Terminal 2 is currently undergoing a 10-year, £1.3 billion renovation and expansion project to double its capacity, which included the opening of a major extension to the terminal in 2021.
This project, which is due to be completed later this year, will see the terminal cater for 70 per cent of the airport’s passengers when completed, with Manchester’s Terminal 1 being closed as part of this plan.
The airport is also adding 13 new aircraft stands and boarding gates as part of the Terminal 2 work.
Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airport, said: “It’s wonderful to see more of our new-look Terminal 2 opening to the public, further enhancing the world class passenger experience that this terminal offers.
“We have a busy few months ahead of us as we finish this transformative 10-year project. We’re thrilled to see the last pieces of the project coming together and we’re sure the 70 per cent or so of our passengers who will use the final product will be as pleased with it as we are.”
