Manchester Airport's Terminal Two extension has been officially handed over.

Laing O'Rourke delivered the terminal extension after signing a contract just over two and a half years ago.

Director of UK Building at Laing O'Rourke, Paul McNerney said: "The handover is the result of a tremendous effort by our local team and all those involved. It shows what can be achieved when a broad project team work in close collaboration from the outset. By engaging with us early, the client made it possible for us to fully utilise our knowledge of modern methods of construction to deliver on time and to a high standard. All of us at Laing O'Rourke are proud to have played a part in transforming the airport into a world class facility."
