The UK airport, part of Manchester Airports Group (MAG), this week unveiled a new area of shops and restaurants within the original part of the terminal.
Terminal 2 is currently undergoing a 10-year, ?1.3 billion renovation and expansion project to double its capacity, which included the opening of a major extension to the terminal in 2021.
This project, which is due to be completed later this year, will see the terminal cater for 70 per cent of the airport¡¯s passengers when completed, with Manchester¡¯s Terminal 1 being closed as part of this plan.
The airport is also adding 13 new aircraft stands and boarding gates as part of the Terminal 2 work.
Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airport, said:?¡°It¡¯s wonderful to see more of our new-look Terminal 2 opening to the public, further enhancing the world class passenger experience that this terminal offers.
¡°We have a busy few months ahead of us as we finish this transformative 10-year project. We¡¯re thrilled to see the last pieces of the project coming together and we¡¯re sure the 70 per cent or so of our passengers who will use the final product will be as pleased with it as we are.¡±?
