Manchester Airport to revamp Terminal 3 by 2028

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 15:31 · Archive

Manchester Airport has unveiled plans to expand and refurbish Terminal 3, increasing its departure lounge by more than a third.

Manchester Airport has revealed plans for a multimillion-pound transformation of Terminal 3. Computer-generated images show how the terminal will look following expansion and refurbishment. The project will increase the size of Terminal 3's departure lounge by more than a third, adding around 2,000 square metres of floorspace, with more seating, natural light and additional space for shops, bars and restaurants. Work is expected to be completed in 2028.

Terminal 3 is now the airport's oldest terminal following the £1.5 billion redevelopment of Terminal 2 and the closure of Terminal 1. As Terminals 1 and 3 are connected, parts of the former Terminal 1, including its security hall and entrance, have already been incorporated into Terminal 3. Terminal 3 now exclusively serves Manchester Airport's Ryanair passengers.

Recent improvements include a new entrance and security area and the opening of the Sporting Chance bar. A new Italian restaurant, Terracotta, is due to open in the coming weeks. Manchester Airport managing director Chris Woodroofe said the airport had 'completely redeveloped' Terminal 2 and was 'now turning our attention to Terminal 3' to 'accelerate that work and provide more space and facilities for our Ryanair passengers'.
