A brand new private terminal delivering a ‘premium sanctuary’ is coming to Manchester Airport, with food curated by one of the city's most acclaimed chefs. Guests will be able to book a BMW to whisk them to their flight at the new "state of the art facility".
CAVU, founded by Manchester Airports Group (MAG), has unveiled ‘Aether’ - which they describe as a "pioneering UK-first private terminal accessible to all airline travellers".
The state-of-the-art facility will provide an "effortless and personalised experience" for international passengers through limited-capacity reservations, which will be available seven days a week. Usually reserved for first and business class, it is now set to open to everyone as a purchasable service for all passengers.

CAVU has also forged partnerships with BMW which they say will provide a ‘seamless transition’ from the private terminal to designated gates at Manchester Airport.
Passengers can expect to 'relax and unwind' with a chauffeur-driven service in a variety of top models, including the all-electric BMW i7, the seven-seater BMW X7 and their latest luxury performance BMW XM.
Aether is also collaborating with award-winning and renowned chef Adam Reid from The French restaurant in Manchester to create an 'elevated dining experience and crafted menu for guests'. The chef says he has built a "real engagement" with what Manchester has to offer in terms of northern hospitality.
