GATEWAY TO EUROPE

EGCC Manchester is one of only 2 airports in the UK which has parallel active runways, and capable of taking the largest aircraft in service. It is Europes 11th busiest airport handing 22.4 million passengers in 2005. There are around 100 airlines, flying to 175 destinations, and it can handle 65 movements each hour. It also handles around 150,000 tons of freight annually, mainly from the 747's of Far East carriers. It is home to a flying school, and light aircraft can be seen taking off and landing regularly slotting in between the heavies, regional jets and turboprops.
