Flying to America just got a whole lot easier! Thomas Cook have recently revealed that they will provide flights from Manchester Airport to Seattle as part of their 2018 summer programme.

Manchester has recently claimed a spot within Europe’s top 20 busiest airports after records show 26 million passengers passed through the airport in the past 12 months since February 2016. That's over 100 times more people than can fit in the Manchester Stadium!

The milestone is a great achievement for the airport, as it highlights 3 years of consistent growth, with 1.7m passengers passing through its terminals in February alone.

An aircraft boasting the title of world’s most ‘efficient and modern’ plane has started service at Manchester Airport. The Singapore Airline Airbus 350-900 touched down for the first time in the UK at 8am on Tuesday, 40 minutes ahead of schedule! This development makes Manchester the only non-London airport within the UK to have this specific plan in operation, and will see the Asian airline serve Houston and Singapore from its terminals.
