September airline moves

Following on from our announcement earlier this week regarding Aer Lingus and Luxair, we’re pleased to confirm that Finnair will also be moving to Terminal 2 on 24th September, joining the airlines now operating from our upgraded terminal and enjoying the fantastic new facilities delivered as part of our £1.3bn transformation programme.

What this means for you

Aer Lingus and Aer Lingus Regional are now operating out of Terminal 2 (moved on 16th September)

Luxair will move on 22nd September

Finnair will follow on 24th September

All three airlines will contact passengers directly to confirm the details, and our airport colleagues will be on hand to support the moves.

My flight is arriving at Terminal 2, but my car is parked in Terminal 1 or 3. What should I do? 

Do not worry, signage will be in place to help guide you back to your original terminal. 

As a guide, it is about a 15 to 20-minute walk from Terminal 2 to Terminals 1 or 3. 

Can I still use FastTrack or TimeSlot in security? 

Yes! You can find more details here: https://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/at-the-airport/security-and-immigration/ 

If you have already booked FastTrack or TimeSlot for Terminal 1 or 3, you will still be able to use it in Terminal 2. 

Assisted Travel 

I have booked Assisted Travel/special assistance - what should I do? 

If you have pre booked assisted travel, head to the reception point in Terminal 2 check-in where ABM staff will be ready to help you through the terminal. 

There are also reception points at the dedicated drop-off area on the forecourt. Just use the intercom to speak to a member of staff. 

Alternatively, you can go straight to the terminal look for the special assistance desk near Zone F at T2 check-in. 
 
Customer Service/ social media responses  

We are working closely with our airline partners to manage upcoming terminal changes. Any confirmed moves will be communicated directly by the airlines and through our official channels. 

At the moment, only Luxair, Finnair, and Aer Lingus are moving in September.
