It was also assisted by the CAA and Public Health England (PHE) to establish and maintain a range of Covid-secure activities.

The CAA recognition comes after a thorough assessment of general hygiene, cleaning, masks and face coverings, health screening and declarations.

It also took into consideration the mental health and well-being of employees and passengers, as well as specific steps for passengers with reduced mobility, before giving its recognition.

Manchester Airport managing director Karen Smart said: “This recognition is great testament and credit to the hard work of our teams across the business to keep our passengers and colleagues safe, as we hopefully see demand increase ahead of the school holiday as restrictions continue to ease.
