The upgrade to Manchester Airport’s runway 1, which has been in progress since February, is set to be extended for a couple of months. This means that, instead of completing in September, the target completion date is now 11th November 2011.

Whilst runway 1 is being upgraded, night-time flights have been using runway 2, which increases noise for some residents in Heald Green, Cheadle and Gatley.

More information on what’s happening can be found on the Manchester Airport website.
