Manchester Airport, Alpha Airports, SSP, BA and VLM have all joined United City, which is supporting the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities' transport plans.
The aviation companies employ almost 4000 staff at Manchester Airport - over 20% of the workforce. The airport's managing director, Andrew Cornish, told the Evening News: ‘Improving the way that our passengers and staff access the airport is a key objective of our developemtn plans. A successful TIF bid would enable us to reach our targets within the next 5 years.’
