Greater Manchester’s mayor Andy Burnham attended the airport to mark the opening of AeroZone, which was delivered as part of the airport’s £1bn transformation programme.
He was joined by Manchester Airport’s managing director Karen Smart and 15 pupils from Outwood Primary School in Heald Green, who were given a tour of the new facility.
AeroZone, which offers a mix of classroom space and interactive zones, is expected to welcome more than 5,000 children and young people aged between four and 18 every year, with curriculum-linked sessions focused on the range of careers available in aviation.
