After 2.6 million passengers passed through the terminal gates at Manchester Airport last month, marking the best April on record for the airport, it has now turned its attention to a multi-million revamp of Terminal 3

Passengers last month among the first to use the new check-in area of the original Terminal 2 area, which has been refurbished to bring it up to scratch with its recent extension.

That extension and new check-in area are key aspects of the airport's £1.3 billion 'reimagination', the second phase of which is due to wrap up by the end of the year. 

Terminal 3 will now be extensively refurbished and is expected reopen in all its glory next year. The terminal entrance, security areas, and departure lounge will be significantly upgraded to provide more space, a smoother experience, or a more modern aesthetic.

Chris Woodroofe, the airport's managing director, described the final phase of the billion-pound transformation of Manchester Airport as "epic," adding, "We're proud to connect the North to the world."
