Why Birmingham Passengers Use Manchester Airport
Which UK airport is better: Birmingham or Manchester?
Depends entirely on your airline. BHX is great for short-haul European routes. Manchester Airport offers 200+ destinations. Emirates to Dubai from T2. Etihad to Abu Dhabi. United Airlines to New York. Virgin Atlantic to Los Angeles. Singapore Airlines. Routes BHX does not offer. Manchester Airport was the worst in Europe for delays in 2025, with 6.16% of flights delayed by 1 hour or more (aviation data). You cannot control that. You can control how you get there.
Long-Haul Routes Only at Manchester
Flying from the US into Manchester?
Correct choice. United, Virgin Atlantic, and American Airlines all at MAN T2. BHX has no transatlantic long-haul. Emirates to Dubai daily from T2. Etihad to Abu Dhabi. Singapore Airlines. Lack of long-haul at BHX is real and documented. That is why Birmingham passengers drive north. Named chauffeur from £120. You board rested. Not stressed from a cancelled Uber.
