0

MANCHESTER Airport was hit by a “major power cut” this morning, with all flights facing cancellations or delays.

Huge queues of furious passengers were unable to check in and a sea of suitcases sit unclaimed with arriving travellers stuck on planes.

A spokesperson said: “Manchester Airport was affected by a major power cut in the area earlier this morning.”

Manchester Airport said at 7.45am the power was running again but passengers continue to face a nightmare situation.

Travellers flying from Terminals 1 and 2 have been told to stay away from the airport until further notice, while passengers due to travel from Terminal 3 could also face delays.

Ian Ellison, 42, told The Sun arriving at the airport early this morning was “absolute chaos” after their flight was stuck on the tarmac for two hours.
