Ground Transport Interchange | Aedas | Architecture | Transport | Manchester Airport, UK | Manchester Airport, UK

The Ground Transport Strategy progresses a corporate strategy for an intermodal hub airport, identifying the construction of a Ground Transport Interchange (GTI) with the target that of 25% of all journeys to the airport are on public transport.

The Ground Transport Interchange encourages and caters for growth in public transport and will function as a multi-modal transport interchange combining heavy rail, Metrolink (light rail), local bus, National Coaches, taxi and car drop off for passengers and visitors.

The building forms a landmark at the entrance to Manchester Airport, and allows the seamless integration of different modes of transport.

The GTI also provides Terminal Facilities to passengers incorporating a check-in hall and baggage handling facilities.

An environmentally responsible approach has permeated all aspects of the design, with the office building achieving a BREEAM rating of Excellent.
