Coronavirus: Manchester Airport Terminal Three reopening

The airport closed two of its three terminals in March as flights were hit by the pandemic

Manchester Airport is set to reopen Terminal Three on 1 July with social distancing measures as more airlines resume some flights.

Only Terminal One has been in operation since 25 March when flights were affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The airport said a range of safety measures were in place including asking passengers to wear face coverings, extra cleaning and temperature checks.

Pre-booked airport security slots are also being trialled.

Passengers can reserve a free 15-minute window to use a dedicated lane taking them directly to a checkpoint in a bid to reduce queue sizes.

A range of carriers have already announced or restarted some of their operations from Manchester, including Emirates, Eastern Airways and Swiss Airlines.
