Manchester Airport Consultative Committee (MACC) - Minutes

[marni1971]

It would be good to understand if any demolition is still on the cards, or just mothballed indefinitely

Indeed.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Just a reminder, if anybody would like to attend as an observer (no rights to ask any questions), that the next MACC meeting is to be held this coming Friday 18th October at 10am. The venue is the Doubletree by Hilton, Manchester airport.

1. INTRODUCTION
Manchester Airport has had a very successful third quarter in 2024. During the period from July to September 2024, Manchester Airport served over 9 million passengers (9,616,029) reflecting a 7.9% increase compared to the same period in 2023. The individual monthly breakdown is as follows, July (3,200,000), August (3,357,814) and September (3,057,741). Manchester Airport has served a total of 23,634,671 passengers this year, compared to 21,603,879 passengers in the same period last year, reflecting 9.4% growth.
Furthermore, this quarter marked a historical milestone for Manchester Airport. For the first time ever,
Manchester Airport recorded more than 30 million passengers in a 12-month rolling period. This is a remarkable achievement for Manchester Airport and cements its position as the UK’s global gateway in the North – with more passengers than any airport outside of London. Surpassing 30 million passengers in a year elevates Manchester Airport to a new level of recognition, aligning with Melbourne Airport in Australia and La Guardia in New York. Manchester already boasts the most extensive route network of any UK airport outside of London with over 200 destinations served; reaching this milestone will help the airport compete across Europe for more new routes meaning greater choice, value, and flexibility for travellers from the North.
Regarding Manchester Airport’s security and operations performance across the third quarter of 2024, 97.6% of passengers were processed through security in 15 minutes or less, which is above our target of 95%. 90% of our inbound baggage met the waiting time service level agreement. But our On Time Performance for the quarter was 54% which is under our 72% target, but not unusual given the busy summer schedule.
In September, Manchester Airport revealed the brands that will be coming to Terminal 2 in 2025 as part of Phase Two of the £1.3 billion Manchester Airport Transformation Programme. 22 new units will open next year and will include new luxury retailers, including Chanel; big names like Pandora, LEGO and WH Smith. The new food and drink offer for the terminal was also announced – The Great Northern Market - a 472-seat food hall featuring six international street food kitchens - new cafes, bars and restaurants, including Fever-Tree, JD Wetherspoon, and Joe and the Juice; and a new 2,165sqm World Duty Free store. The retailers will provide an unrivalled experience for passengers shopping and dining before they catch their flight. The announcement received positive news coverage, including two stories online and one in print from the MEN, and coverage on BBC Radio Manchester.
During this quarter, Manchester Airport also worked on a series of behind the scenes reports in collaboration with BBC Northwest Tonight, looking at summer preparations and the ongoing work to grow the airport’s route network, amongst other themes. This culminated in a 19-minute documentary available on BBC iPlayer.
In summary, the third quarter of 2024 has been highly successful for Manchester Airport, marked by another exceptional summer period with record-breaking passenger numbers. Manchester Airport has not only managed to handle increased traffic efficiently but also maintained high service standards. This puts Manchester Airport in a strong position for the final quarter of 2024.

Manchester Airports Group (MAG) has taken the opportunity to buy a patch of land immediately next to its existing site. The seven-hectare Boundary Farm, on Styal Road, is divided into two plots, and is currently vacant.
One of the plots has a number of glasshouses on it and was previously used by vehicle hire firms and for airport car parking by private operators. Having been approached about the opportunity, MAG has bought the site through the acquisition of Boundary Park Holdings Ltd, a special purpose vehicle set up to purchase it from previous owner Boundary Farm Car Park Ltd. MAG does not intend to immediately use the site an will consider all options in due course.
2. GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT AND POLICY
Political engagement
Since the 2024 general election results, Manchester Airport has had several positive interactions with regional MPs, hosting four MPs on site, with three further visits scheduled across the final quarter of 2024. There have also been separate MP meetings that have taken place to specifically cover the topic of the Noise Action Plan (NAP); the consultation which closed on the 27th September. Approximately 247 responses to the NAP were received, with the main emerging themes covering Night Flights, Track Keeping, mitigation schemes, and surface access/road traffic.
Manchester Airport colleagues attended both Labour and Conservative Party Conferences in September,
engaging with Cabinet Ministers, MPs and key local stakeholders. Manchester Airports Group hosted panels at both Labour and Conservative Party Conferences, covering the Services Superpower report published earlier in the year with WPI economics. These panel events received positive feedback from attendees.
Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR):
Following Labour’s election victory in July and subsequent change of government, legislation to nationalise the rail network under the remit of a new Great British Railways has been introduced. The impacts upon Manchester Airport are likely to be limited since our train operators, Northern, Transpennine Express, and Transport for Wales, are already publicly owned and controlled.
There has been further progression with the Liverpool–Manchester Railway Board, which is focused on driving delivery of the Manchester to Liverpool section of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR). The section runs from
stations in Manchester and Liverpool city centres via new stations at Warrington and Manchester Airport. The Manchester Airport MD sits on the board and attended the recent meeting held in Liverpool during the Labour Party Conference on Monday 23rd September. The meeting launched a prospectus and promotional video detailing the benefits and opportunities of the route, and the creation of the private sector Partnership Board, to be chaired by the former Rail Minister, Huw Merriman. A further Board meeting will be held following the Autumn Statement, whilst Manchester Airport will host the inaugural Partnership Board.

Sustainability MAG continues to advance its sustainability and decarbonisation programme. In the second quarter, the team has:
• Hosted workshops across the Group to prepare our fourth Climate Adaptation report as part of DEFRA’s
fourth round of the Climate Change Adaptation Reporting Power. We collaborated with specialist
consultants to model risks from extreme wind, flooding, and high temperatures. The report is on track
for submission to DEFRA in December 2024 and we are also engaging with Manchester-based
stakeholders as Manchester City Council prepares its first climate adaptation report.

• Submitted our response to the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) consultation. The consultation
sought to understand the role of carbon removals, which involves capturing and permanently storing
CO2 from the atmosphere, in the UK ETS. MAG supports the integration of carbon removals into the ETS
as a key component of the aviation industry's decarbonisation efforts.
• Successfully completed the external audit of our CSR and emissions data. The team is now preparing a
suite of documents including a Manchester Airport CSR Progress Update Report along with detailed
datasets that will be available online. The suite of documents is set for publication in November.
• Launched work on our 2025–2030 Sustainability Strategy as we approach the conclusion of our 2020–
2025 CSR Strategy, ‘Working Together for a Brighter Future.’ We are partnering with specialist
consultants to explore best-in-class practices, regulatory requirements, and sustainability topics that
align with our operations. We would like to thank MACC for their contribution to our recent materiality
assessments and workshops that have provided vital insights for this project.

3. PLANNING MATTERS
Changes to the Planning System:
In July 2024,shortly after the General Election, the new Government published a revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for consultation. The changes largely focussed on achieving a step change in the delivery of new housing and involved a reversal of previous changes to the NPPF introduced by the former Government.
Notwithstanding, the Airport made representations in September regarding the need for aerodrome
safeguarding to be considered in the location and design of new housing; how aircraft noise is considered; and support for major infrastructure. The consultation period has now closed, and the Government will consider all the representations made prior to issuing a final version of the revised NPPF. This is anticipated at the end of 2024.
Local Planning Policy:
The Airport continues to liaise with Manchester City Council on their drafting of the Manchester Local Plan, the replacement for the current adopted development plan that dates to 2012. A public consultation draft is anticipated in the coming months. We also reviewed the consultation version of the Styal Neighbourhood Plan but made no formal representations.
Airport or near Airport developments:
• Sydney Avenue replacement – Planning permission was granted by Manchester City Council in early
September for the new vehicular access between Thorley Lane, near its junction with Runger Lane, and
a new road running from the West roundabout at the exit of Terminal 2’s forecourt. New traffic lights
will be installed at this new junction. This new road will replace the existing alignment of Sydney Avenue
and allow greater queuing length to the accommodated within the airport site and cope with the
additional flows around Terminal 2 arising from the completion of MAN-TP and the movement of airlines
across from Terminal 1. The planning permission included the first requirement for Biodiversity Net Gain
(BNG) at the airport – with a redundant taxiway being replaced by airfield grass to compensate for the
vegetation lost at the Sydney Avenue development site.
• Airport Car Parking – Enabling works have recently commenced at the Clough Bank B site close to the
Runway Viewing Park for additional Meet and Greet storage parking following the discharge of all the
pre-commencement planning conditions.
• Airport Hotels – The 412-bedroom Tribe Hotel on land to the rear of the Station and Voyager office
building is very close to completion. Planning permission was granted to Dakota Hotels in September by
Manchester City Council for a 7-storey 154-bedroom hotel off Bailey Lane and a start on site is
anticipated imminently.
• Airport Station – Active discussions are continuing with Network Rail, DfT and local stakeholders to
lengthen three of the rail platforms at the airport station to increase capacity and to improve network
resilience. Subject to detailed design and an approved business case in 2025, these works could
commence in 2026.
• Timperley Wedge / Davenport Green – A public consultation was held over the summer by the private
sector promoters of the Timperley Wedge site, now re-named as Davenport Green, that has been
allocated for substantial employment and housing development in the Places For Everyone Plan. A high
level, indicative masterplan as well as site constraints and opportunities plans were provided and
comments invited from local stakeholders, including Manchester Airport, as well as the local community.
The Airport’s representations focussed upon aerodrome safeguarding issues; the need to model the
traffic associated with the airport, both existing levels and forecast growth; planning for future road,
Metrolink and high-speed rail proposals; and surface water drainage issues. We will continue to engage
directly with the promoters, as well as participating in the next stage of public consultation when it arises.
This is likely to be led by Trafford Council as they integrate the masterplan into a Supplementary Planning
Document.

4. MANCHESTER AIRPORT TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME (MAN-TP)
Phase two of MAN-TP - our £1.3billion transformation programme to revolutionise the customer, colleague, and partner experience - is making good progress.
• Retail announcement – a significant milestone in this period has been the announcement of the new
retail brands and eateries that will be coming to Terminal 2 in 2025. From premium brands to local
favourites, the new shops, bars and restaurants put Terminal 2 on a par with any major international
airport in any capital city.
• Airfield: Construction works are complete on Taxiway Zulu, Manchester’s first full dual code C taxiway,
which will be operational by mid-October, unlocking the taxiway capacity supporting a mix of remote and
contact stands. Construction of the newest section of Taxiway Echo enters its final phase as teams gears
up to begin work in the central gyratory stands. New and dynamic ways of working have proven successful
in enabling contractors to access and install new Airfield Ground Lighting in the busiest stretch of taxiway
at the airport. All of this work will provide capacity required to host the thirteen new stands on Pier 2
and the airlines operating from them.
• Pier 2: Pier 2 is now practically weathertight which means all of the external elements are complete and
the team can start to work on the internal fit out. The FLANs (fixed links and nodes) are also being
installed ready for the airbridges and lift installation enabling works have commenced. Pier 2 will
significantly increase the number of aircraft that can operate from the brand-new-super terminal while
offering passengers more space while they wait. Pier 2 will offer 13 contact stands hosting a flexible
arrangement for both wide and narrow-bodied aircraft.
• East Check-in: The welcome wall is being installed, this will mirror the iconic Manchester Airport
Departures sign we have in the T2 extension (west) and work is ongoing to install the mechanical,
electrical and plumbing elements in the East Check-in hall.
• International Departures Lounge: The T2 Refurbishment works are progressing well. Both floors have
now been complete with the screed been successfully laid on both sides. Cable pulling has commenced
in the new Security Hall (Level 20) and the retail fit outs are now taking place.
• Glazing and cladding are being installed on the South Vertical Circulation Core (SVCC) and escalators have successfully been put in place. This will provide a circulation corridor allowing passengers to easily flow from security to the departure lounge and for arriving passengers to easily get to border control.
• Additionally, the Arrivals Hall work is ongoing with the strip out of the area progressing. This will
eventually allow for an additional seven retail and food and beverage units to be added.
• Landside: We have recently introduced new digital occupancy signage on the T2 departures forecourt.
The dynamic signage means that as motorists arrive at the T2 Forecourt, they are directed to a particular
drop off zone depending on the number of spaces available, improving their experience and helping to
reduce congestion on the forecourt. The next major activity to improve the road network around T2 is
the development of Sydney Avenue, which the team is preparing to start works on imminently.

6. OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT – ROUTES AND SERVICES UPDATE
During the quarter, July – September 2024, 9.6m passengers travelled through Manchester Airport. August was Manchester Airport’s busiest on record, and significantly in September Manchester Airport surpassed the rolling 30m annual passenger mark for the first time.
The delivery of 9.6m passengers in the quarter was an 8% increase on 2023 levels (+ 6% in July, +9% in August and + 8% in September).
Year-on-year passenger growth continues to be driven by low-cost carriers, namely Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 and TUI who combined grew by a total of +406k passengers versus Q2 2023.
In addition to the growth from the LCCs, numerous long-haul and full-service carriers delivered record results in the quarter, including: Aer Lingus Long-Haul, Hainan Airlines, Qatar Airways, Saudia and Virgin Atlantic.
There have been numerous developments for Manchester Airport’s network in the Quarter, including:
• Juneyao launching a new 3 x weekly service to Shanghai in July, the first time that these two cities have
been connected by a direct service.
• Due to the successful start of Juneyao’s operations at Manchester and strong demand on the route, the
airline has made the decision to increase their schedule from 3 x weekly to daily during the peak winter
season periods.
• Etihad announcing they would increase their operations from 7 to 10 per week in December and
increasing to a double-daily service in Summer 25.
• Hainan Airlines operating a daily service from Manchester to Beijing during Summer whilst announcing
their schedule will remain daily during the peak of the Winter season.
• Cathay Pacific announcing they would increase their flying schedule from five times weekly in S24 to six
times weekly in W24 before increasing further to a daily schedule in S25, a return to their pre-pandemic
schedule at MAN.
• Turkish Airlines operating up to 25 weekly flights through the period, their largest ever schedule from
Manchester Airport.
• FlyOne announcing that they would launch a new service between Manchester and Chisnau, Moldova,
from October.
• easyJet announcing a new 2 x weekly service to Oslo from Winter 24
7. CAR PARKING & SURFACE ACCESS
• Landside Operations: PAX and call volumes have increased since the Summer and volumes have been
high post the spring period, consistent with previous years. M&G volumes have continued to exceed
budgeted forecasts in the second quarter of FY25. The landside control room assisted 290,722 customers
via our car park/forecourt intercoms during July 24 - Sept 24, up from 282,643 the same period in 2023.
Landside NPS continues to remain high when compared across the group, currently running at 49.3%,
down from 50.0% on the previous quarter, against a target of 41.0%.
• Customer Transport delivered average airside bussing SLA performance across the quarter of 92% with
performance improving August and September (94% & 95%), following a below target performance in
July (89%). Landside services continued to perform strongly, supporting a robust and above target NPS
performance throughout the quarter.
• Car Parking: Car park occupancy averaged 99% throughout the quarter, across all self-park and Meet &
Greet products, with both self-park and Meet & Greet performing well across the period. NPS continues
to see a positive uptrend, averaging 62 vs. target 41 and in some products as high as 75. Capacity
balancing across the estate was managed with CAVU partners to mitigate the space loss of T1MSCP,
which continued through Q2 and likely to continue for the balance of year. Further technology
enhancements were trialed ahead of delivery in Q3 of Meet and Greet systems, specifically the migration
to the cloud of ParkIT, the main system supporting operations.
• Manchester Airport Transport Forum: On the 1st October a meeting of the Manchester Airport Transport
Forum was held at the Radison Blu Hotel. The Forum was attended by over 80 delegates from several
different organisations across Greater Manchester and beyond. The theme of the forum discussions was
working in collaboration, with sessions on our collaboration efforts presented by Manchester Airport
Group, Network Rail, TransPennine Express, Transport for Greater Manchester, National Express,
Transport for the North and Arup. We also hosted a marketplace area, where delegates could hear more
from stakeholders such as Northern Rail, Metrolink, and Manchester Airport Transformation
Programme, while also hopping on board the new Bee Network Branded bus, to see the facilities and
features on board. Initial feedback from delegates is that they found the event insightful, and the team
have received interest from at least five organisations wishing to collaborate and present at the Forum
next year.
• Bee Network is Coming: The Manchester Airport Transport Interchange will be included in Phase 3 of
the Bee Network Roll Out which is scheduled to take place on 5th January 2025. We are working with
Transport for Greater Manchester, bus, rail and tram operators to understand what this will mean for
passengers. Over the next twelve weeks we will be working with stakeholders and preparing for the
launch. Updates on any changes for passengers and staff in terms of ticketing and timetabling will be
provided in due course.
• Bee Network Board Meeting: We are keen to strengthen our collaboration efforts with Transport for
Greater Manchester colleagues and are hoping to host one of the Bee Network Board Meetings at the
Airport in coming weeks. The Board is chaired by the Mayor of Greater Manchester, and we hope by
hosting, that we can promote the Bee Network and begin to explore collaboratively the process of
planning for future enhancement/improvements to the Ground Transport Interchange.
• Ground Transport Interchange: We have recently commenced a review of the Ground Transport
Interchange, to reflect the latest circumstances and evolving stakeholder requirements. As part of this
work package, we will take a high-level strategic, operational, and functional look at the Ground
Transport Interchange, seeking to better understand how/if it needs to evolve to meet future passenger
growth and demand.
• Collaboration with National Highways: Manchester Airport has been selected by National Highways to
be included in a pilot study to trial highway demand management techniques, using advance information
and public transport ticketing to encourage passengers to use alternative modes of travel. The pilot
which is currently scheduled to be taking place over February half term, is currently in the planning
stages. The Airport was selected as part of a competitive process, and we welcome the opportunity to
participate in a scheme which has the potential to promote sustainable travel to the airport.
8. MOBILITY SERVICES
CAA rating: We have seen extremely strong performance across all our key measures for Special Assistance services. Our key performance measures for the Civil Aviation Authority to assist pre-booked arriving passengers within 20 minutes, and non-booked arriving passengers within 45 minutes, are at 99.64% and 99.99% respectively for the financial year to date, this surpasses the threshold for a ‘Very Good’ rating from the CAA, and is despite the fact that every month in 2024 has seen growth for PRM’s at Manchester. PRM satisfaction is currently 4.11/5, which again exceeds target of 4/5 for a ‘Very Good’ rating. We received our annual CAA rating in July, Manchester was awarded a ‘Good’ rating, despite surpassing all performance measures we had only held one formal accessibility forum in FY24 as we took the opportunity to restructure it due to dwindling membership.
Passenger experience: As above strong performance has been seen throughout the summer, despite record PRM numbers being seen, particularly in the peak month of September. ABM headcount is at its highest ever and remains strong with summer headcount being carried forward into winter.

12. FUTURE AIRSPACE
Wider Airspace Modernisation update In the London Terminal Manoeuvring Area (LTMA), London Heathrow Airport passed in their second attempt at Stage 2 in July. In the Manchester Terminal Manoeuvring Area (MTMA), Leeds Bradford Airport will submit their third attempt at the Stage 2 Gateway in May 2025.
The Manchester Airport Future Airspace project (ACP-2019-23)
As members are aware, in the Manchester Terminal Manoeuvring Area (MTMA) there are Airspace Change
Processes underway (between ground and 7,000ft) at Manchester (MAN), East Midlands (EMA), Liverpool John Lennon (LPL) and Leeds Bradford (LBA) Airports. NATS En Route Ltd (NERL) are undertaking works above 7,000ft.
The three-weeks of full-scale development simulations that took place in June included deconfliction of MAN/LPL departure/arrival routes, reduction in the interactions between MAN/EMA traffic, a new hold structure for LBA and systemised airspace design to/from the south in the upper networks (more routes less delays).
The simulations tested just one network design for each airport. We are continuing to design additional
alternative network scenarios for MAN to see if these would offer different benefits. All these network scenarios now need to be tested to establish whether further route refinements could offer further benefits before a shortlist of scenarios are evaluated.
Projects to remove reliance on the MCT DVOR
As previously reported, the existing departure and arrival procedures are dependent upon national assets
(provided by NATS En Route Ltd) scheduled to be removed from service on 1st January 2026. The Manchester Airport Future Airspace project (ACP-2019-23) will provide the long-term solution, entirely replacing dependency on ground based navigational aids with Satellite navigation. Two projects will ‘bridge’ the gap between removal of the ground based navigational aids and the delivery ACP-2019-23:
• ACP-2024-002 Contingency RNP approaches for Runway 23R, Runway 05L & Runway 05R.
• ACP-2024-007 RNAV Substitution of Eligible Conventional Procedures.
The CAA have determined that neither ACP will affect local communities and will have little effect on aviation stakeholders other than those operating into MAN.
In August, we completed a piece of engagement with aviation stakeholders. Mails were sent to members of the National Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee (NATMAC), operators fulfilling the MAN 2024 summer schedule and local flying schools/GA community. These mails were supported by presentations to the Airline Operators Committee (AOC) in August and Flight Ops Safety Committee (FLOPSC) in September. We presented to the September 2024 TAG meeting and noted that ‘Members remain supportive of the introduction of these navigational procedures that make best use of aircraft and aviation technology and remove reliance on outdated ground based navigational aids’. Overall, stakeholders support the development of contingency RNP Approaches and the RNAV substitution of eligible conventional procedures.

13. MANCHESTER AIRPORT IN THE NEWS
The media team delivered a wide range of proactive content across Q3. Key announcements garnering significant regional and national coverage included;
- More than 20 new retail / F&B units set to open in T2 at the conclusion of MANTP Phase II next year
- Upcoming terminal moves for airlines based in T1
- The release of MAG’s annual report in July
- The airport’s busiest month on record, in August
- More than £29k donated to good causes at the Community Trust Fund’s latest meeting
- The launch of Series 3 of Manchester Airport’s official podcast
- The launch of Royal Air Maroc’s service to Casablanca.
In addition to this, we engaged with regional BBC broadcast outlets on two major initiatives – firstly, a four-hour live broadcast from T2 with BBC Radio Manchester, to mark the start of the school summer holidays, including short interviews with a number of colleagues as well as passengers travelling through; and secondly, a six-part series of short ‘behind-the-scenes’ reports for BBC North West Tonight, which have been compiled into a half-hour documentary for BBC iPlayer. These two projects gave our regional audiences the opportunity to see the airport functioning smoothly and efficiently at the height of summer, providing a good standard of service.
On the reactive front, we dealt with two significant incidents in July – a global IT outage, and a controversy
surrounding a GMP arrest in T2. With the former, we ensured a constant flow of important information to
passengers whose airlines were affected, while being clear to media who enquired that the airport’s IT systems were functioning properly and the airport remained open for business. In response to the GMP incident, we did not comment publicly but pointed media queries in the direction of GMP, while separately assuring colleagues that the airport’s management had asked to be kept appraised of the police response to the incident.
We also proactively issued a statement in response to Which?’s annual airports survey, which was critical of the passenger experience at Manchester, particularly in Terminals 1 and 3. We hosted a writer from Which? earlier this summer to demonstrate improvements being made across the airport site, and also to raise concerns about their survey’s methodology. We made these concerns plain and clear in our subsequent media comment, while stressing the work we do to gather feedback from passengers and make the improvements they want to see.

“Pier 2 will offer 13 contact stands” - first time publicly in black and white I believe.

I only wish they’d acknowledge and act on suggestions from their customers regarding T2X and in particular the horrendous pick up layout.

There is a diagram available on the instagram page or ringway reports ref pier 2 stands, showing the possible various stand configurations.

Regarding the pick up layout, there was an action on the last MACC concerning a possible covered area for pick up’s, but not heard anything since on this…as for the rest I don’t know what “suggestions” have been made…?

I’ve made some suggestions to them. To design it like a user, not a computer. It’s horrendous (and their social media channels echo this)

I’ve 2 plans of pier 2 that more or less show the same gate layout but it wasn’t clear until now what MAN think they will have capacity wise.

 

[LS@MAN]

I can’t upload any further documents on here as I’ve reached the maximum number allowed!
But if your on instagram or skyscraper city forum, the latest and final CGI image of pier 2 is there.
