About Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport is a busy place, with some 28 million passengers per year, and dozens of operators (hence good competition) flying to almost 200 cities. There are 3 passenger terminals and two runways. There are excellent direct connections from across the UK and Ireland, Europe, North America and the Caribbean, though flights from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa normally require a change of plane. (To see what's flying in and out, use an independent website such as flightstats.com - the airport's website only lets you look for specific flights.) There is good ground transport, with frequent trains taking less than 20 min to the city centre, and direct train services across the north of England and central Scotland. The airport opened in 1938, almost immediately becoming a wartime RAF base,
