This from today's MEN
Manchester's £650m Airport City master plan unveiled | Manchester Evening News - menmedia.co.uk
Two phases - first to the North of the Passenger Terminal Area which will be made-up of 1.85m sq ft of hotel, office, retail and advanced manufacturing space, all next to Manchester Airport's existing train station. The second will be based over by the Cargo Centre and will focus on freight and logistics uses.
Planning application "within weeks" and work on infrastructure starts in the spring.
All good interesting stuff for a "third world airport".
