About This File

FSX Scenery--Manchester International Airport (EGCC), UK. Manchester Airport is an international airport in Ringway, Manchester, England. In 2012 it was the third busiest airport in the United Kingdom in terms of passenger numbers. Manchester Airport provides flights to over 200 destinations, more than any other airport in the United Kingdom. The airport comprises three terminals, a goods terminal and is the only British airport other than Heathrow to operate two runways over 3000 m (9843 feet) in length. Using ADEx 1.55, aeronautical maps and Google Earth, the default AFCAD has been completely reworked to reflect today's situation including gate assignments for the A380. By Menno C. Robert.

The airport is called Ringway and is in Stockport England, just to the south and west of Manchester

To be fair, it's closer to Altrincham and Wilmslow than Stockport - in fact Wythenshaw is much closer and directly north of the airport - but it actually is AT Ringway, which is a little hamlet just to the east of the southern ends of the runway.

It WAS called Ringway Airport, I spent many days down there plane spotting in my youth ... 10p on the 400 bus lol, but I digress ... The airport was known as Ringway, as there were other airports in Manchester that were equally important.

It hasn't been officially called "Ringway", well not since it was RAF Ringway. We just used to call it that because we locals used to refer to it as Ringway back in the 70s and 80s. It really is just called Manchester Airport, and has been since the 1930s when it was built.
