Manchester Airport has sounded the alarm for holidaymakers with a fresh warning as a host of airlines are set to switch from Terminals 1 and 3 to the revamped Terminal 2. The airport is calling on passengers to update their lounge and parking bookings to avoid any hiccups during their travels . A total of 11 airlines have made the move, which started on October 27 and runs through to November 13.
This comes amid a whopping £1.3billion makeover that's giving Terminal 2 a complete facelift. As part of the grand plan, Terminal 1 will be shut down, while Terminal 3 will see a reduction in airline operations.
The goal is to establish the spruced-up Terminal 2 as "the heartbeat of the airport". The first phase of the new Terminal 2 was unveiled in 2021, and the second phase is slated to open its doors next year. With the entire transformation expected to wrap up by 2025, the airport shared a list of airlines already transitioning over, which can be found at the bottom of this article.
