Manchester Airport marks one year of construction on ?1bn transformation

Manchester Airport is celebrating one year of construction on the biggest investment project in its history and has released a video that shows the work completed so far.

The airport is spending ?1billion on a transformation that will see Terminal 2 become 150% bigger than it currently is and become the focal point of the airport?s operations.

It today released time-lapse footage showing how the project has progressed over the past 12 months and a new video tour that gives passengers the chance to glimpse into the airport?s future.

The programme got under way a year ago after a visit by the Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling. Since then, the airport?s skyline has changed dramatically as the first pier has been built and over 70% of the steelwork has been erected on the terminal extension.

Andrew Cowan, CEO of Manchester Airport, said: ?This is the largest investment ever made in the airport and will transform the experience for our passengers and airlines alike, as well as creating job and training opportunities for local people and boosting businesses working on the scheme in the process.

"I?m excited to see the first pier open to passengers in just eight months' time and to press ahead with the rest of the scheme, especially the new terminal building, which is on course to be open to passengers by mid-2020.?

The first pier is set to open to passengers in April 2019 and terminal extension on course to open in 2020.
