Manchester airport’s Terminal Two will boast a giant digital screen as well as new security and departure and arrivals halls when the first part of its extension opens in July.

The new screen in Manchester airport's Terminal Two will be 83 square metres

Other improvements include a new immigration hall and a bus gate lounge for passengers.

The 83-square-metre digital screen will provide entertainment and information for passengers, while a new honeycomb light installation – a nod to the city’s worker bee symbol – in the departures lounge will offer 16 million lighting combinations.


A total of 15 new food and drink outlets will also open, while “dozens” of new retail premises are promised.


Following the initial opening, further facilities will start operating throughout the rest of the year including the first of some new “island” check-in desk banks and new baggage claim facilities.
