MANCHESTER Airport has been voted the best in Britain.
The airport beat off competition from Gatwick, Liverpool John Lennon and Birmingham to win the title of Best UK Airport at the Travel Weekly Globe Awards 2006.
The awards are voted for by travel agents.
John Spooner, managing director of the airport, said: "It means a great deal to us to receive this award.
"We invest a huge amount of time and money, and our staff give 100 per cent to make sure our passengers receive the very best airport experience."
Bolton Council has a 10 per cent share in the airport.
