Flying private from MAN.
Manchester Airport (EGCC) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Manchester.
Manchester is the main international airport for northwest England and its long runway takes any business jet, with private passengers handled away from the airline terminals.
It is a slot coordinated airport, so the slot is booked with the flight and timings need to be held once confirmed.
Other options in Manchester include City Airport Manchester (Barton) (EGCB). Flights are operated by CAA-certified operators.
