Five more airlines are to begin flying from Manchester Airport's new super terminal, it's been announced.
The glitzy, revamped Terminal Two opened to passengers for the first time on Wednesday.
Now it's been announced that Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Brussels Airlines, airBaltic and Ethiopian Airlines will begin flying from there this week.
Terminal 2 is the flagship development in the huge £1bn refurbishment of the airport. The project has been five years in making and and seen its opening twice delayed by the pandemic.

It finally opened on Wednesday with flights run by Tui and Jet2 to Menorca, Ibiza and Mallorca. Singapore Airlines also began flights from the terminal on Saturday.
On Monday M&S also opened a new store there, while an Accessorize branch is also due to open on Thursday.
Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways and Brussels Airlines first flights will depart tomorrow (Tuesday, July 20), followed by airBaltic on Wednesday and Ethiopian Airlines on Thursday.
Manchester Airport managing director Karen Smart said: "Last week was such a huge and poignant milestone in Manchester Airport’s 83-year history as we opened our new Terminal Two extension.
"As the Government continues to cautiously lift the lid on international travel restrictions, and gives more freedom to double vaccinated passengers, its great to see more of our airline partners resume services, increase frequencies and move across to their new home in Terminal Two.
"Not only will opening the new terminal help with our Covid-19 recovery, as passenger demand hopefully increases as more countries are added to the green list, but it will also give our customers the best experience as they jet off on their holidays.
"We understand many people haven’t flown in a long time due to the pandemic, but I’d like to reassure all our customers as we continue to implement the highest quality Covid-19 safety measures across Manchester Airport."
