Manchester Airport flies high with new Optare Tempos13 June 2017

Manchester Airport Group has taken delivery of four new Optare Tempo vehicles, which will be used primarily to transport airport staff into and around the airport.

All four are Euro 5, 12.5m Tempos with Mercedes-Benz engine and Allison Transmission. Three of the vehicles have two doors and can seat up to 43 passengers; the other three-door vehicles seats up to 29. All four are equipped with luggage racks.

Hardik Modha, head of customer transport at Manchester Airport Group, says the Tempo was selected for its spacious interior. “The triple door vehicle in particular makes boarding and alighting quick and easy, and the specification of the vehicle – which includes air conditioning – is also excellent.

“We were very impressed with the flexibility that Optare were able to provide with regards to the seat layout and racking designs,” adds Modha.
