Since 2020 the business has seen major changes including a significant restructuring in staffing and management, changes to our operational hours and a rebranding of the business in 2023.

The beginning of 2025 seems a perfect opportunity to launch this survey. The data from this will allow us to begin looking into the improvements which mean the most to our customers.

It's that time of year again, where we work with our Air Traffic colleagues at surrounding airports to ensure all the presents, for the children of Manchester, arrive safely on Christmas Eve.

We've reviewed of our SACK1 arrival into, Manchester Barton's runway 08R, and we're confident should any low cloud or fog arrive at the aerodrome, 'the big man' will be able to get through. We're also told that Rudolph is now ADS-B out equipped, which is great as he'll show up on our Flight Information Display on the VCR. The approach starts within the Liverpool Control Zone, having already flown a Liverpool STAR, from waypoint ASMIM then onto the new waypoint PUDIN, where Santa is required to have reduced speed to below Mach 1.

Should a missed approach be carried out he can follow the published missed approach via TURKY, GROTO and MERRY, to hold at SPROUT......... and let's be honest, who doesn't want to "Hold the sprouts" Yuk!

Our team had a busy autumn building @uk.caa specification displaced threshold marker boards, and producing written procedures for displacing the Runway 08L and 08R thresholds, after a number of days in 2023 where standing water forced these runways to close for periods.

This morning, despite such heavy rain during Storm Darragh, we are open to fixed wing aircraft on Runway 26R!

A great effort #TeamBarton
