Manchester Airport to showcase US routes at Birmingham’s Great Western Arcade

Manchester Airport is preparing to launch its first ever pop-up shop in Birmingham.

Located in the Great Western Arcade, the shop will give visitors the chance to learn more about the various US routes available at Manchester.

The transatlantic services, which are currently only also available from London airports, include flights to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami, Houston and Atlanta.

The team at the Great Western Arcade will also have virtual reality tech on hand to give shoppers a glimpse of how Manchester Airport will look after its 10-year, £1bn transformation.

Manchester Airport’s head of marketing, Patrick Alexander, said: “We have a whole host of long haul routes that currently passengers can either only go from London airports or from Manchester.

“By coming to Birmingham with our very first pop up shop means we can educate and show the people of the Midlands how easy Manchester Airport is, as an alternative of getting to, and across the capital, to reach far flung destinations.”

Opening next Wednesday (June 14), the pop-up shop will have interactive travel-themed games offering shoppers the chance to win prizes.
