Mace has been appointed to manage the second phase of the Manchester Airport Transformation Programme (MANTP) by Manchester Airports Group (MAG).
Terminal 2 more than doubled in size as part of the first phase of the £1.3bn programme and the phase two works – representing a £440m investment – will see the terminal modernised with a second pier built. The programme is expected to complete in 2024, with the new facilities opening in 2025.
Jason Millett, chief executive officer at Mace Consult, said: “It’s fantastic to be delivering a project which will have such a significant impact on levelling-up the UK through job creation and enhanced connectivity. Through our partnership with Manchester Airport and local stakeholders, we will create vital infrastructure for passengers.
“Helping to deliver on our vision for growth, our experienced project and programme consultants will bring their extensive aviation expertise and regional knowledge to apply fresh thinking to our approach. In turn, we aim to continue supporting the aviation sector’s path to recovery post-pandemic.”
Paul Willis, chief development officer at Manchester Airport Group, added: “The second phase of the Manchester Airport Transformation Programme represents the concluding chapter of the most ambitious expansion project in the history of the airport, and in turn signifies a huge milestone for our city, the North and also the wider recovery of the travel industry.
“We are looking forward to working with Mace to create a world-class facility that will provide not only regional connections, but also improved global connectivity.”
