The address behind your bookings — and now a confirmed target for phishing.
Manchester Airport Group data breach
They lost your details. You never agreed to that.
Manchester Airport Group has written to customers confirming that an unauthorised third party accessed personal data from its car parking, lounge, Fast Track and on-airport WiFi systems.
If you were affected, you may be owed compensation under UK data protection law — including for the distress of knowing your details are in someone else’s hands.
- No win, no fee
- Under 2 minutes
- Run by Abbleys Solicitors
Manchester Airport Claims is an independent claims service. We are not Manchester Airport, Manchester Airport Group, or connected to them in any way — we bring claims against them on behalf of affected customers.
Step 1 of 2
Your details
Check if you can claim
Tell us how to reach you. We’ll confirm your eligibility on the next screen.
We will never ask you for bank or payment details. By continuing you accept our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
What the attacker took
MAG’s own notification names four categories of data. On their own they look harmless. Together they are enough to convincingly impersonate you.
Phone numbers
Opens you to smishing texts and cold calls that already know who you are.
Vehicle registrations
A plate tied to a named person is the raw material for registration cloning.
Postcodes
Narrows you down to a street, and tells a caller when your car was away.
No bank or payment details were involved. MAG has confirmed that neither it nor the affected system held customers’ bank or payment information. A claim under UK GDPR does not require you to have lost money.
Were you affected?
If you used any of these at Manchester Airport, your details may sit in the data that was accessed. You do not need a booking reference to start.
- 01
Airport car parking
Any pre-booked or on-the-day parking, including drop-off and Meet & Greet.
- 02
Lounge bookings
Escape and other airport lounges booked through Manchester Airport.
- 03
Fast Track security
Any Fast Track pass bought for yourself or for someone travelling with you.
- 04
On-airport WiFi sign-up
The easiest one to forget — connecting to the free WiFi handed over your details.
Why you may have a claim
The law is on your side
Under Article 82 of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, an organisation that fails to keep your data secure can be liable to compensate you. Distress counts — you do not have to prove financial loss.
The risk doesn’t expire
MAG’s own letter urges customers to be cautious of unexpected emails, calls and texts. That warning is permanent: the data cannot be recalled, and neither can the anxiety of watching for it.
It costs you nothing to try
Abbleys Solicitors act on a no win, no fee agreement. If the claim succeeds, a success fee of [XX]% is deducted from your compensation. If it fails, you pay nothing.
Three steps, then it’s out of your hands
No paperwork, no booking references, no phone calls you have to make. Sign with your finger and Abbleys take it from there.
Give us your details
Name, phone and email. That is the whole of step one — no booking references, no paperwork to dig out.
Confirm and sign
Tick to confirm MAG contacted you, agree to us passing the claim to Abbleys, and sign on screen with your finger.
Abbleys take over
A regulated solicitor reviews your claim and contacts you within [X working days]. You do nothing else unless they ask.

-
Are you Manchester Airport?
No. We are an independent claims service with no connection to Manchester Airport or Manchester Airport Group. We act for customers making claims against them. If you want to contact the airport itself, use the details in the email they sent you — not this site.
-
What if I’ve deleted the email from Manchester Airport?
It isn’t a problem. The email is helpful evidence but it isn’t required — Abbleys can ask MAG to confirm whether your data was in scope.
-
How long does a data breach claim take?
Group data claims usually run to [X–XX months]. Abbleys will give you a realistic timescale once they’ve reviewed your case — no one can promise a date at this stage.
-
Who actually handles my claim?
Manchester Airport Claims checks eligibility and passes your claim, with your written consent, to Abbleys Solicitors, who are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You can withdraw that consent at any time.
Start your claim in under two minutes
Name, phone, email — then a tick and a signature. That’s it.
