During World War II, it was called RAF Ringway, as a base for the Royal Air Force, and from 1975 until 1986, ''"Manchester International Airport"''. The airport is owned and managed by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG), a holding company owned by the Australian finance house IFM Investors and the ten metropolitan borough councils of Greater Manchester, with the Manchester City Council owning the largest stake.
The airport regularly handled the supersonic transport Concorde and houses the British Airways G-BOAC flagship Concorde at the Manchester Runway Visitor Park. Ringway, which the airport was named after, still exists as a village with a few buildings and church at the southern edge of the airport. The airport currently handles 20.8 million passengers annually (2013) and spare capacity exists for up to 50 million passengers annually. However, this potential figure is limited by aircraft movements. The airport currently has a total maximum capacity of 61 aircraft movements per hour.〔http://www.manchester.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/13757/manchester_airport_-_the_need_for_land.〕 Vacant land exists for expansion, future developments include the £800 million Manchester Airport City scheme aims to create logistics, manufacturing, office and hotel space adjacent to the airport.
