No, they are the same. Names of days and months are not considered to be proper names so we write them with lowercase. This is of course different than English because they are considered to be proper names in English.

Are named places also considered part of the proper noun in Turkish and therefore capitalised?
For example:
"I am going to Manchester Airport tomorrow"
In English we capitalise "Airport" as well as "Manchester"
In Turkish is the same thing done or not?
"Yarın Manchester Havaalanı'ya gideceğim"

Yes, we do the same.
Noun modifications take the n buffer.
"Manchester Havaalanı'na "

You mean that if we wanted to say "to Ankara's Hospital" for example, we would say Ankara Hastanesi'ne instead of Hastanesi'ye?
Is this a general rule?

"Ankara Hastanesi'ne" is correct.
"Ankara Hospital" = "Ankara Hastanesi"
But not, "Ankara's Hospital" = "Ankara Hastanesi"
