Manchester Airport will reopen Terminal Three this week in a bid to ease ongoing problems including delays and queues.
Over the last few months, Manchester Airport has been put under strain due to a lack of staff and a much higher demand for travel. The change in passenger behaviour came as covid restrictions lifted and passengers were allowed to travel outside of the UK again.
Terminal Three closed during the pandemic and only reopened partially from March 27. From this Friday, arriving passengers using airlines that require use of Terminal Three will have access to it.
