Airports in Manchester England.

City Airport Manchester, (formerly Barton Aerodrome) is a general aviation airport in the Barton-upon-Irwell area of Eccles, in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. It is five nautical miles west of Manchester and was the United Kingdom's first purpose-built municipal airport. Featuring four grass runways, it is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the UK. The airfield operates seven days a week, from 9 am until sunset for fixed wing aircraft. Commercial, military, police and air ambulance helicopters can operate during the hours of darkness by arrangement, as the airfield can be equipped with portable runway lighting.

Construction of Manchester's new municipal aerodrome at Barton, Eccles (Borough of Eccles) started in autumn 1928 to replace the temporary Manchester (Wythenshawe) Aerodrome. The grass airfield and large hangar were completed in January 1930, when the first passenger charter flight occurred. Barton was managed until 1933 by Northern Air Lines, who based several Avro 504s and other types for training, club and charter flights. Imperial Airways operated a thrice-weekly scheduled service to London's (Croydon Airport) via Castle Bromwich Aerodrome, Birmingham during summer 1930, subsidised by the councils of Manchester and Birmingham.

A control tower and associated wireless station were completed in spring 1933, the first at a municipal airport outside London, and able to communicate with aircraft in flight and give pilots bearings from the airfield. The tower is currently operational and is believed to be the oldest in Europe still in use for its original purpose.

Scheduled services resumed in August 1934, when Croydon-based Railway Air Services commenced a Croydon-Barton-Belfast-Glasgow route. Linking services to Liverpool, Blackpool and the Isle of Man were introduced in spring 1935. Other smaller airlines operated short-lived services from Barton until June 1938, when all schedules transferred to the newly completed larger Ringway Airport which between 1940 and 1957 also accommodated RAF Ringway.

Manchester Airport is a major airport in the vicinity of Manchester, England, and the largest airport in the United Kingdom outside the London region, offering non-stop scheduled flights to numerous destinations across Europe, North America, the Caribbean, Middle East and Far East.

It officially opened on 25 June 1938, and was initially known as Ringway Airport. During World War II it officially became RAF Ringway, and from 1975 until 1986 the title Manchester International Airport was used. This year Manchester Airport is celebrating its 70th anniversary. The airport complex is almost entirely located within the city of Manchester boundaries—except for a proportionally small overlap in to the Cheshire borough of Macclesfield —8.8 miles (14 km) south by west of Manchester City Centre.

The origins of the airport can be dated back to mid 1934 when the location was selected as a new site to build an airfield. On 25 July 1934, Manchester City Council voted narrowly in favour of the Ringway site as the City's new airport. The site for the planned airport complex was at the time in the Cheshire parish of Ringway (as it was south of the River Mersey). Construction was ceremonially started by the Lord Mayor on 28 November 1935 and was completed for civil aviation use by early summer 1938. The airport was officially opened on 25 June 1938 during a public air display and received its first scheduled flight, a KLM operated Douglas DC-2 from Amsterdam. The airport at this time was called Ringway, named after the parish it lay within. Pre-war, KLM was the only international operator out of Ringway and offered a request stop at Doncaster. 4000 passengers used the airport in 1938 and another 4000 during the first eight months of 1939, before declaration of war brought an end to civil operations. Construction of a Royal Air Force station commenced in 1939 on the NE edge of the airfield. RAF Ringway was used for both operational flying and training. The main user was No.1 Parachute Training School RAF which trained over 60,000 paratroopers between June 1940 and March 1946, who parachuted out of planes over Tatton Park, after receiving permission from land owner, Lord Egerton. A complex of hangars and assembly sheds on the NW side of the airfield was used by Fairey Aviation for the construction, modification and testing of over 4000 aircraft of several types. From spring 1939, Avro used the 1938-built main hangar for assembly and testing the prototype Avro Manchester, Avro Lancaster and Avro Lincoln bombers. Three southside hangars were erected in 1942/43 and used for the assembly of Avro York military transport aircraft.

RAF Ringway, was a Royal Air Force station near Manchester, UK, situated in the parish of Ringway, Cheshire.

Originally, Barton Aerodrome, opened in January 1930 just west of Eccles, was planned to be the main airport for Manchester, but it became clear by 1934 that its small boggy grass airfield was inadequate for the larger airliners then coming into service including the Douglas DC-2 and DC-3.

A new airport site at Ringway, eight miles south of the city, was selected from several alternatives. Construction of the all-grass airfield commenced in late 1935 and the first (westerly) portion opened in June 1937 for use by Fairey Aviation. The remaining airfield areas and the terminal building were opened for public use on 25th June 1938. Initially known as Manchester (Ringway) Airport, then Manchester International Airport, from 1986 it has been designated simply Manchester Airport.

Woodford Aerodrome or Manchester Woodford Aerodrome is located at Woodford in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester. It is 6 nautical miles north of Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. Woodford is owned and operated by BAE Systems which is currently building the BAE Nimrod MRA4 at the airfield.

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, commonly referred to simply as "Manchester Airport," is a public airport located three miles south of the central business district of Manchester, New Hampshire on the county line of Hillsborough and Rockingham counties. The airport lies in two communities, Manchester and Londonderry. The Manchester airport was founded in June 1927, when the town's Board of Mayor and Aldermen put $15,000 towards the project. By October, a board of aviation had been founded and ground was broken at an 84 acre site near Pine Island Pond. It took only a month for two 1,800-foot runways to be constructed. After the formation of Northeast Airways at the site in 1933, the first passenger terminal was built.

During World War II, the airport was the home for up to 6,000 troops and an anti-submarine warfare squadron. On February 22, 1942, the base was dedicated as Grenier Field to honor 2nd Lt Jean Donat Grenier, born in Manchester on November 24, 1909, and killed on February 16, 1934.
