Manchester Airport T1 Drop Off

Terminal 1 Closure: The Departure Lounge and Arrivals at T1 closed in late 2025. Ryanair Exception: Ryanair passengers still use parts of T1 for check-in and security but follow signs to walk to Terminal 3 for their gates, as T3 is also being upgraded. Terminal 2 Expansion: The airport's future is centred on the revamped Terminal 2, which now handles the vast majority of passengers (around 75%). What to Do: Always check your airline's specific terminal for your flight, but expect to use Terminal 2 or the hybrid T1/T3 route for Ryanair. Barriers have been removed.
