The airport only reopened Terminals Two and Three in July but has now decided to close Terminal Two “until further notice”.

Karen Smart, the airport’s managing director, said: “Throughout the pandemic, we have worked closely with our airlines and retailers to align our operations with demand and to deliver the best possible customer experience.

“This has included introducing a number of new measures to keep passengers safe and give them the confidence to travel through Manchester airport, in line with government guidance.”

Smart added they have “continued to monitor the travel patterns of our airlines and passengers” which has led to the decision to close Terminal Two again.

“All such decisions are driven by our commitment to deliver the best possible airport experience to customers, colleagues and our airline and retail partners,” she said.

“From 2 September, all flights will operate from Terminals One and Three and Terminal Two will remain closed until further notice.

“Passengers who were due to fly from or into Terminal Two after that date should contact their airlines to confirm which terminal their flight will be transferred to.”

The airport will also close Terminal Two’s car parks from 2 September but customers can transfer their bookings to other car parks.
