Manchester Airport

Airport Profile

• Cargo

  Manchester Airport is a global gateway to the North of England. Manchester Airport currently handles around 100,000 tonnes of import and export freight and mail annually, connecting the North of England to 160 destinations around the world.

  Manchester Airport’s cargo facility, the World Freight Terminal, is a community of more than 1,000 professionals managing freight-only aircraft as well as consignments that arrive or depart in the holds of passenger aircraft. Having grown to meet the increasing demands on importers and exporters across the country, our 24/7 service operates from 60,000 square metres of warehouse and office space for a comprehensive air cargo support system.

  Manchester’s largest cargo markets are the Far East, North America and the Middle East, with daily flights connecting to all of these destinations.

  

• Community

  Manchester Airport has developed a strong partnership with the local communities neighbouring the site. Key to our success has been our public commitment to community programmes and to maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with our neighbours. Find out more about Manchester Airport’s commitment to building on our past success, with the intent of making our immediate community a key part of any future success going forward.

  For an overview of our work of the last year please see our 2017-2018 Corporate Social Responsibility Report and see our June Community News and June Wythenshawe Community News for seasonal updates.

  In celebration of our 80th Birthday Manchester Airport has produced its own children’s book; called “Reach For The Sky”. The book, aimed at Primary School children, tells an enchanting story about travel, determination and achieving your dreams. We published 5,000 and these have been distributed to support children’s reading across our catchment area.

  

• Corporate Social Responsibility Report

  The aviation industry creates many economic benefits and social opportunities, despite a number of challenges such as climate change, air quality, noise disturbance and the rapidly changing security environment.

  Our Annual Report provides  an overview of how we manage these issues – what we said we would do over the last year, what we achieved and what we plan to do – which come together to form the various aspects of our sustainability programme.
