The podcast will bring listeners into the inner workings of the UK’s global gateway to the north, complete with travel tips and special guests.
‘Manchester: Your Airport, MAN’ will go behind the scenes to look at different aspects of the typical day-to-day running of the airport, from how an airfield works, to the arrangements put in place when celebrities make a flying visit. Listeners will also hear directly from managing director Chris Woodroofe as he reflects on his year in the role and what to expect from a busy summer period.
Special guests include holiday expert Simon Calder, who will share tips and tricks for travellers to get the most out of their holidays after being a prominent face in the travel writing industry for more than four decades.
The team behind Airlines Live, whose YouTube live streams from the airport’s Runway Visitor Park have gained more than half a million subscribers, also make an appearance in the podcast to discuss why Manchester Airport is a huge draw for plane spotters and aviation fans, before listeners are taken to the top of the airport’s air traffic control tower.
Adam Jupp, communications director at Manchester Airport, and co-host of the podcast, said: “The series aims to give listeners a bit of everything, whether that be something they’ve always wondered about the airport, telling them something new and surprising, or providing travel tips and destination inspiration for those planning a summer getaway.”
The podcast will launch on May 22nd, with the first six episodes available through Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts, among other platforms.
