Your New Terminal 2
Manchester Airport’s Transformation Programme is a £1.3bn investment, first announced in 2015, which will revolutionise the customer and colleague experience at the airport and provide world class facilities.
In 2021 the Terminal 2 extension, opened, doubling the size of the terminal, and providing the latest technology and a bright, modern environment.
The second phase of the transformation will see the original Terminal 2 building refurbished to match the quality and functionality of the new extension, delivering a modern, state-of-the-art passenger experience throughout, and introducing an even greater array of shops, restaurants, and other facilities for those travelling through it.

Why leaving a legacy is important?
Manchester Airport is committed to a sustainable future and providing benefits to our communities whilst minimising our impact on the environment.
A key element of Manchester Airport’s Transformation Programme is leaving a lasting legacy and ensuring that people and businesses from the region benefit from the development.
Phase two will see Mace and its supply chain partners will create more than 500 new jobs, engage 1,500 young people across Greater Manchester, aim to raise £70,000 for local charities and donate 500 hours of employee volunteering time. Mace and its supply chain partners are also targeting that at least 5% of the workforce should be apprentices for the duration of the project.
