Manchester Airport EGCC / MAN

Northern England's largest hub, with a separate GA terminal on the south side and full CIQ. Convenient for Manchester, Cheshire and the Premier League clubs; heavy commercial traffic means coordinated slots and occasional taxi delays. Signature's Cheshire-side facility keeps passengers clear of the main terminals.
