Manchester Airport is upgrading Terminal 3's departure lounge, expanding it by around 2,000 square metres with more seating, shops and natural light.

Manchester Airport is expanding Terminal 3's departure lounge by around 2,000 square metres—over a third larger—in a multimillion-pound upgrade. The project, expected to be complete in 2028, will create extra seating for passengers, boost natural light and provide space for new shops and retailers.

Terminal 3 now exclusively serves Ryanair passengers. The airport has already made recent improvements to the terminal, including the opening of the Sporting Chance bar and a new security area and entrance. An Italian restaurant called Terracotta is also due to open in the terminal in the coming weeks.

Managing director Chris Woodroofe said: 'We've completely redeveloped our award-winning Terminal 2 through our £1.5bn investment and now we're turning our attention to Terminal 3. We've already made significant changes but now we're ready to accelerate that work and provide more space and facilities for our Ryanair passengers.' The airport will run a competitive tender to bring new retailers into the added space.
