About the Airport

The North West’s global gateway

Manchester Airport is the third busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the largest outside London, handling more than twenty-eight million passengers each year. It is the main international gateway for the North West and serves destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.

Located about ten miles south of Manchester city centre and directly on the M56 motorway, the airport is well-connected for transfers from Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, Liverpool, Leeds, and the Lake District.

With a pre-booked transfer you avoid the taxi rank, have a fixed price confirmed in advance, and arrive at your terminal calmly and on time.
