Terminal Two is in the process of going through a major expansion, not due to finish until 2024.

Manchester Airport have announced they’re going to close Terminal Two from the start of September with flights operating out of Terminal One and Three instead.

In a statement the airport, which saw over 29 million passengers come through it’s doors in 2019, had reopened Terminals Two and Three back in July after they were closed during the lockdown.

As part of the announcement the airport also said all car parks serving Terminal Two will also close but passengers who have booked to use one after 2nd September will be able to transfer to one of the other car parks on the site.

Karen Smart, Managing Director at Manchester Airport said: “Throughout the pandemic, we have worked closely with our airlines and retailers to align our operations with demand and to deliver the best possible customer experience.

“This has included introducing a number of new measures to keep passengers safe and give them the confidence to travel through Manchester Airport, in line with government guidance.

“Having re-opened Terminals Two and Three in July, we have continued to monitor the travel patterns of our airlines and passengers, in order to adapt our operations accordingly.

“With that in mind, we have taken the decision to close Terminal Two again from September 2.”

“All such decisions are driven by our commitment to deliver the best possible airport experience to customers, colleagues and our airline and retail partners.

“From September 2, all flights will operate from Terminals One and Three and Terminal Two will remain closed until further notice.

“Passengers who were due to fly from or into Terminal Two after that date should contact their airlines to confirm which terminal their flight will be transferred to.

“Our Terminal Two car parks will also close effective of September 2, although customers who have booked parking after this date will be able to transfer their booking to an alternative car park.”
