HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANCHESTER AIRPORT

Manchester Airport, will mark its 70th anniversary on June 25. Originally called Manchester (Ringway) Airport, the hub is now the UK’s largest regional (non London) airport, and the forth biggest in the UK overall.

A series of celebratory events have been planned to take place throughout the year to celebrate the anniversary, including an M Fest family day, a dinner for dignitaries and the long awaited completion of the new Concorde hangar.

Manchester Airport’s Managing Director Andrew Cornish said: ‘The airport has changed beyond recognition from those early days. In 6 months of operations in 1938 the airport handled 4000 passengers - In 6 months of operations in 2007 the airport handled over 11 million passengers. In 1938 there were 12 destinations served by Manchester, only 1 of them being outside the UK - In 2007 Manchester had over 220 destinations worldwide, more than any other UK airport.'
'In 1938 there were only two check-in desks - In 2008 there are hundreds of check-in desks, plus Express and Internet check-in facilities. The runway in 1938 was 3000 feet in length - The modern runways are 10000 feet (3048 metres) in length.'
