equipment.
Terminal 2 has seen the completion of three important developments
over the past year. A new lounge facility has been completed,
which offers high speed internet access, fax and phone facilities
and a quiet relaxing environment to work in. A new lounge
was completed in summer 2001 which offers seating for approximatley
800 passenger at four gates. In addition to the new lounges
is the new Disabled Adult Changing Facility offering a private
changing facility with electronically adjustable changing

At Terminal 3, the smallest of Manchester Airport's terminals,
a new common lounge has been created along side improvements
for departing passengers. The new lounge grants easier access

retail units.
