Why MAG?

For airports, for partners, for people. We are CAVU. Founded by MAG (Manchester Airports Group) and backed by over 80 years of aviation expertise, we’re striving to revolutionise airport travel, creating value for passengers, and importantly, the businesses that serve them.

From our revenue accelerating single platform technology, Propel, through to our world class hospitality venues including Hangar, 1903 and Escape Lounges - our solutions make travel more seamless and enjoyable for passengers and more profitable for our clients and partners.
