Manchester Airport has invested around £1.2m to improve facilities for passengers arriving back into UK through Terminal 3.
The highlight of the work is an additional baggage carousel located within the international arrivals hall.
The work was carried out over a 12-month period by teams from Manchester Airport, Lostock Installations Limited and Vanderlande Industries. To allow for the new baggage carousel a significant number of changes had to be made to the layout of the terminal building.
Matt Etchells, head of Terminal 3 at Manchester Airport, said: “The task of installing the baggage carousel was a significant challenge due to the limited space within the terminal. The project team at the airport and contractors brought into deliver it, performed brilliantly to get the carousel operational in time.
“The new carousel will allow the terminal to handle more international passengers at any one time and makes it a nicer, more open space for passengers using the area.”
Manchester Airport has seen the number of flights operating from Terminal 3 increase by 34% over the last three years. Both Ryanair and Flybe have increased the number of flights they operate from the terminal and new airlines such as Vueling Airlines and Iberia Express have also started operating.
