Manchester Airport and MAG

Manchester Airport and Our Group

Manchester Airport

Manchester Airport is the global gateway to the North of England. Every year we handle around 19 million passengers, using over 60 airlines flying direct to around 200 destinations. With around 19,000 people employed directly on-site, our growth is shared by our city and the whole region.

The cargo operation at Manchester has been growing from a relatively small base throughout our history, and has shown significant growth in recent years.

MAG Property

Part of MAG, its £335million portfolio comprises over 200 properties across 5000 acres, serving over more than 850 companies across the four UK airports.

MAG Developments is leading the £650million 'Airport City' project at Manchester Airport - this exciting multi-purpose development forms the central core of the newly designated Manchester Airport Enterprise Zone and will deliver five-million square feet of new business accommodation over the next 10 to 15 years.
