New private terminal opens at Manchester Airport

A brand new private terminal has opened at Manchester Airport offering fast baggage processing, a lounge with complimentary food and drink, and a dedicated security channel.

And you don’t need your own private jet to be able to use it. In fact, you don’t even have to be flying.

PremiAir offers groups of up to 50 access to one of three private suites located before the security gate so people who aren’t flying can use them for events and meetings.

Manchester is the first UK airport to introduce this innovative concept.

A number of packages are available:

Priority Departures (from £50pp) allows guests with hand luggage only to arrive an hour before the flight, enjoy a personal welcome, dedicated security channel and be driven to the aircraft.

Premium Departures (from £100pp) includes complimentary food and drink, luggage handling, dedicated security and transfer to the aircraft

Arrivals from (£125pp) provides a transfer from the aircraft to the terminal, dedicated passport control, use of lounge facilities and luggage delivery

Round trip packages are available from £175pp with further upgrades available.

PremiAir is currently partnering with 25 airlines including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Cathay Pacific. Passengers travelling with these carriers can make a booking through the PremiAir website.
