The Manchester International Airport provides a wide range of facilities including those for business, children and the disabled. Public transportation to and from the airport is reliable and frequent with a choice of trains, coaches, taxis and car hire. From 1975 until 1986, the title Manchester International Airport was used. It is located on the boundary between Cheshire and Manchester in the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester.

It has two parallel runways, three adjacent terminals, and a railway station. The airport is owned by the Manchester Airport Group which is controlled by a group of ten local authorities in the Greater Manchester area. MAG owns several other UK airports; East Midlands, and the smaller Hurn, Bournemouth and Kirmington, Humberside. Most other major airports in the UK are owned by BAA plc.

Pleasure Beach, Blackpool has been consistently profitable and these profits have been re-invested in new rides and the development and upgrading of the Park. In 1990 the exterior of the grounds were re-designed and a brand new Edwardian style cosmopolitan shopping complex created.

2004 saw the arrival of yet another brand new white knuckle ride the £2m Bling and a further £5 million investment in the park with re-theming and refurbishment.
