Manchester and Jersey airports announce terminal expansions

Manchester Airport has announced a multimillion-pound expansion of its Terminal 3 departure lounge. The project will add approximately 2,000sqm of space, increasing the lounge size by over a third. The development aims to improve the passenger experience by increasing natural light and providing room for new retail outlets. This follows the £1.5 billion redevelopment of Terminal 2 and recent enhancements to Terminal 3, which currently serves Ryanair passengers exclusively.

Jersey Airport is also entering the final phase of a £10 million facility upgrade. The project includes a transformed departure lounge featuring a mezzanine overlooking the runway, a dedicated quiet workspace, a family area, and new seating. The upgrades also incorporate local artwork and modernized infrastructure. A final phase, expected to conclude in the second quarter of next year, will introduce a new bar, restaurant, and an assisted travel lounge.
