MAN has 2 parallel runways, 24R / 06L (Runway 1) and 24L / 06R (Runway 2) . Aircraft movements are generally inbound on 24R and outbound on 24L. However the wind direction shifts approx 20% of the year and this flow is reversed. During the quieter period of each day from 12.00pm to 15.00pm, the airport reverts to single runway use and uses 24R / 06L (Runway 1) for both inbound and outbound flights. | MAN has 2 parallel runways, 24R / 06L (Runway 1) and 24L / 06R (Runway 2) .

As from 07 June 2007 due to the shift in Magnetic North the runways are to be renumbered to 23L/05R and 23R/05L | |||
