Manchester Airport, Annual Runway Maintenance Schedule
What is happening?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Each year maintenance works are required to maintain Runway 1, the most used runway, and its’ adjoining taxiways. We have devised a programme of works and identified closure nights through the year; listed below. We have planned work in a similar way for the last few years and community feedback has been positive to such advance warning.
For more information about such works please see: www.manchesterairport.co.uk/runwayclosures
2025 Runway 1 Closure Dates
Runway 2 will be used as the sole runway on the following dates:

*5-night closure
The dates include 'weather contingency' and some redundancy; it is unlikely that all the nights will be required. In the event of bad weather/low visibility or that no works are required, the works may be deferred or cancelled and Runway 1 reinstated.
Normal operations will resume at all other times. These changes are permitted within the terms of the Runway 2 Planning Permission.
