Manchester Airport is expecting its busiest summer on record as millions of passengers travel in the coming weeks.
Hand luggage rules
Last week the airport released images of nearly 100 items confiscated from cabin bags in a single July morning at Terminal 2 security. Items included a gun-shaped whiskey decanter, yoghurt pots and a leg massager.
Passengers are reminded to follow Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) hand luggage rules: liquids must be under 100ml, no gun-shaped items (including toys), and items with lithium batteries (power banks, vapes, tablets) must go in cabin bags, not the hold.
Metrolink repairs
Extensive Metrolink repairs are ongoing until Sunday, August 2. No trams run through the city centre or on the Altrincham, Eccles and Trafford Park lines. East Didsbury and Airport lines terminate at Firswood. Tram replacement buses operate between Exchange Square and Rochdale, Bury and Piccadilly, and Piccadilly and Ashton-under-Lyne.
