Manchester Airport, September 2019

A quick visit on the 18th September, five days before the collapse of Thomas Cook.

The construction of the PremiAir luxury terminal has reduced the area of the viewing park, caused the removal of the viewing mounds, blocked the view of the terminals, and increased the prominence of the huge barbed wire fence. The larger viewing area has been extended forward slightly, but it's still a sad development for photographers.
