[Flag of Manchester Airports Group] image by António Martins-Tuválkin, 13 October 2007

The Manchester Airports Group is a white flag with a large image of blue-coloured logo as shown at http://www.eurocities2006.com/userimages/Image/MAG_Logo_4col%20copy.jpg. Above the entity’s name are placed, at left, a globe with nine arrow-like figures encircling it and almost coming together at the North Pole; at right, large initials ‘MAG’, a growing wedge of white sweeping away part of them.

Quote from relevant website:
“The Manchester Airports Group plc (MAG) is the largest UK-owned airport group and is made up of four airports - Manchester, East Midlands, Humberside and Bournemouth and currently handles more than 28 million passengers every year. The group also runs businesses in property development and management, baggage handling, car parking, airport security, fire-fighting, engineering, advertising and motor transport services. Manchester Airports Group plays a vital role in the success of UK aviation generating around Ł3.2 billion for the UK economy and supporting more than 130,000 jobs across the four airports. (…) Manchester Airports Group is wholly owned by the 10 local authorities of Greater Manchester and is proud to be publicly owned and privately managed.”
