Manchester Airport 'back to normal' after power cut

Some passengers whose travel plans were thrown into chaos by a power cut at Manchester Airport face further delays as airlines rearrange grounded flights. Airport bosses said all its system were "Running as normal" again, but urged passengers to check the status of their flights before travelling. "If people are chatting in the pub and say 'well I used Liverpool John Lennon Airport and it was fine, nice and uncrowded, seems to work OK', then you might get a cohort of people actually moving away from Manchester Airport to another airport. Passengers whose flights were cancelled described the situation at the airport as "chaos", and photos shared on social media showed large queues and stalled baggage carousels piled high with luggage. An Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi had to touch down in Birmingham Airport instead. Chris Woodroofe, the managing director of the Manchester Airport, said he was sorry for the delays and that staff were "making sure the impact [did] not carry on" into the coming days.
