Wythenshawe is probably closest - Woodhouse Park backs right onto it (the airport has an M90 postcode).
Hale Barns (Altrincham) and Heald Green (Stockport) and Wilmslow/Handforth (Cheshire) are also close.

Could be wrong, but I believe the airport was previously a Royal Air Force station, R.A.F. Wilmslow, so it could well be Wilmslow.
*edit* Should have checked first :-))
In 1926, Manchester council recognised the need for a permanent airport in the region.
Manchester airport has moved through several initial locations before settling at the one it is at today.
In 1929 a temporary airport was opened in Wythenshawe for use while the new airport was being built.
By 1930 the new airport at Barton was completed and opened; however, this was deemed too small for the size and number of commercial aircraft that it was required for.
This resulted in building work for a new airport starting in 1935 at Ringway.
Ringway was opened in 1938, and scheduled flights commenced.
Scheduled flights ended during WWII when the airport was developed to accommodate more military aircraft.
Normal services were resumed after the war, and by 1949 more enhancements were made to the passenger terminal, which are then upgraded again in 1962.
The main runway has been extended 3 times, in 1951, 1969 and 1981.
Terminal 2 was opened in 1993.
By 1995, 15 million passengers per year were travelling through the airport.
To handle increased demands, the second runway to the airport was built in 2001.

The nearest airport to Dublin in the UK is probably Belfast, but using Ryanair it would be Liverpool as there is no service that I know of between Dublin and Belfast. Northern Ireland is a part of the UK it uses the Royal Mail like the rest of the UK.

Hi!
Ringway!
Suburb is either Wilmslow or Styal.
In fact it has a Stockport postcode, but is quite a way away from Stockport town centre!
I would say they all come under the umbrella of Greater Manchester.
Hope this helps!

It is near the town of Altrincham. The airport was previously named Ringway, and the name has stuck. The nearest village is Hale Barns.

you need to narrow it down a little. Manchester Airport covers a real big area. the nearest large town is Stockport.

Jussticefor maddi is right, Woodhouse Park, although zav is also right, Wythenshawe, Heald Green ,Wilmslow and Hale are all on the outskirts of Ringway.
