Police Chase Crash Near Manchester Airport Terminal 2 Closes Upper Forecourt for Three Hours

Terminal 2 handles most flights, magnifying disruption at drop-off.

Overview

  • Greater Manchester Police said a pursuit ended in a crash near Terminal 2, leaving the driver in hospital with serious injuries.
  • Manchester Airport closed the Terminal 2 upper forecourt for about three hours after the collision.
  • During the closure, staff redirected drivers to the lower forecourt, which caused congestion and longer drop-off times.
  • The airport says the upper forecourt has now reopened, though earlier delays affected passengers arriving by car.
  • Terminal 2 serves most airlines except Ryanair, so any closure there can quickly affect large numbers of travellers.
