Passenger data stolen from major UK airports
Posted: 1st Sep 2026
Manchester Airports Group (MAG), the parent organisation that runs East Midlands, Manchester and London Stansted airports, has admitted an unnamed threat actor has stolen a significant quantity of personally identifiable information (PII) on approximately 8.7 million people who parked at or flew through its airports.
The data breach is understood to relate to parking, lounge and Fast Track bookings, and airport Wi-Fi network sign-ins, and while the IT systems breached did not contain bank or payment details, MAG said the stolen dataset includes identifying email addresses, phone numbers, post codes and vehicle registration plates.
