PASSENGERS at a major UK airport are enduring travel chaos as all flights “face cancellations and delays” after a reported power cut.
Terminals 1 and 2 at Manchester Airport have been brought to a standstill by a power supply problem in the area.
The power is up and running again but passengers face very long queues as security staff clear the backlog.
Holidaymakers who are due to jet off later have been urged to check with their airline before setting off for the airport.
Inbound flights have not yet been delayed or cancelled – but there could be queues at Border Control.
Manchester Airport said: “A significant number of flights today are likely to be cancelled.
“The advice is for passengers expecting to travel today not to come to the airport without having checked with their airline first.”
Airlines will organise any onward journey for those whose flights are cancelled, it is understood.
