[edit] Opening comments

Formerly at Manchester (United Kingdom) Airport. Euwww!

"Several" flights a day?? It's a bit more than that! I've watched planes come in and leave every 90 seconds at times in the summer. I'm taking the reference to EasyJet out, too, as as far as I know they've never operated from Manchester - they use Liverpool airport. Arwel

[edit] Photos

Does anyone have photos that could be used in the article? In particular in the infobox? Wangi 11:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo problem sorted and request for ground transport info

Sorted, the iconic archway named "Gateway to the World/North" has been uploaded and put as the picture, also could we have some information about planespotting and transport info. Medscin 09:19, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Ive updated transport info, all extras would be appreciated Medscin 09:29, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

Please do not add facts and figures to the Introduction. The Introduction simply tells the reader what the article is about and leads into the article. Additional information should go under a relevant heading so the reader can find it from Contents. Also, please check that any info you want to add is not already there!

[edit] Passenger numbers

The exisiting expansion is sourced here. Please do not add other figures without sourcing to an exact page, not a website home page. BlueValour 17:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Sources for latest month/period now added; also source for latest airport long range passenger forecasts. User:Ringwayobserver

[edit] Requested move

Manchester International Airport → Manchester Airport — Manchester Airport has been the official name since 1986 and is the name normally used when referring to the airport. It was previously a DMB and is now a redirect. BlueValour 23:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Strongly support above statement that the airport name is correctly 'Manchester Airport' - for example see hard copy 'Draft Master Plan to 2030' published in mid 2006 which uses 'Manchester Airport' throughout. User : Ringwayobserver 01 January 2007.

[edit] Survey

Add  * '''Support'''  or  * '''Oppose'''  on a new line followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~.

• Oppose - personally I think the Manchester Airport page should still be a disambig. Moving this article could cause confusion with Manchester/Boston Regional in New Hampshire, which everyone from around here just calls Manchester Airport.

• Support (my own nomination :-)). Any confusion is resolved easily by a dab link. There has been no such place as Manchester International Airport for 20 years. Since Manchester Airport is a redirect page, and anyone searching on the name is already taken to the UK airport, it is hard to see any good reason not to use it for the article. BlueValour 04:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
• Support Call it by its right name. BringBackOrangeBuses 17:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Support - If that's the official name then "Manchester International Airport" is both inaccurate and misleading. Since "Manchester Airport" redirects there anyway the move will have no impact on the other article. PC78 10:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
• Support - per PC78, pending other evidence presented by someone else. -Patstuart^talk|edits 15:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
• Support - after further consideration. Regan123 17:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Support- I agree- I was there on Tuesday and that was the name used. Thunderwing 21:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments:

To avoid confusion why not call it Manchester Aiport, England? I have never seen it as Manchester International Aiport and I have lost track of the number of times I flew from there. Regan123 17:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Vegaswikian 07:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
