Manchester wins US airport

The US arm of the company that operates Manchester Airport has won a contract to create a new Escape Lounge at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut.

The US$1m (about £770,000) common-use facility will be the third in the US for Manchester Airports Group (MAG), after Minneapolis-St Paul and Oakland airports.

The 2,000sq ft facility opens this autumn in the airport’s East Concourse, and will feature contemporary furnishings, flight information screens, free wi-fi and free hot and cold food and drinks.

MAG operates five Escape lounges across its UK airport network, which includes Manchester, East Midlands, Stansted and Bournemouth.

MAG USA president and CEO Rosemarie Andolino said: “This is MAG USA’s third major win in less than a year.

“Hartford will be the first Escape Lounge on the East Coast and we hope it will enable Bradley to win over new passengers by offering them a high-quality experience as they travel through the airport."

She added: “Common-use airport lounges are still a relatively new concept in North America and we look forward to working with more airports as they improve their passenger amenities, not just in lounges but also in other areas of retail."
