The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to improve access to Manchester Airport from the regions surrounding Greater Manchester.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government recommends that masterplans and surface access strategies are updated every five years, and we work closely with all airports, including Manchester Airport, as they develop and update their plans.

It is the responsibility of airports to work closely with local stakeholders to develop masterplans and surface access strategies to improve airport access, noting that improvements to airport surface access are generally funded by the airport themselves.
