- Huge queues formed in Manchester Airport as it was affected by a "major" power cut in the area on Sunday, 23 June.
In a statement, the airport said the issue caused "widespread disruption" and a significant number of flights, particularly from Terminals 1 and 2, were expected to be delayed or cancelled.
Power was later restored and travellers were advised to contact their airlines before going to the airport as a number of flights were still likely to be cancelled.
Manchester Airport said staff were working to get passengers already at the airport onto flights as soon as possible and apologised for the inconvenience.

Just travel by Dingy. No queues. No passport control. Sorted. 😅
Sorted! ;-)
Surely the airport has 2 separate HV power supplies? Something doesn't quite add up with the initial statement.
lmfao not when they physically/mentally want to put people off travelling and cause as much chaos as possible! Oh wait The 33rd degree Freemasonic Motto; '''Ordo Ab Chao' = Order out Of Chaos''!
Russia did it
This is what happens when the men who built the complex systems our society relies on cease contributing and are replaced by people who were chosen for reasons other than competence.
What utter rubbish, probably from a Russian bot sowing division and chaos in the Western world again. You can't improve yourselves, so your way of leveling things up is by messing around with others.
I believe that it is called box ticking. Appears not to be working, does it.
Exactly! Didn't earn it hiring. Already in London potholes in roads, cryptospiridium in tap water, raw sewage pumped into rivers, parks and grassland overgrown and not being maintained, councils going bust in the rest of the country. Soon we will be on rolling power cuts like load shedding in South Africa.
Russia did it
@@nirajshrestha5621 Nah diversity hiring did it. South Africa is friends with Russia and look at Eskom.
We better get used to occasional power cuts, that's green energy for you.🌳
lmfao yup... 'Ordo ab chao'...33rd degree freemasons controlling us.
Russia did it
@@nirajshrestha5621 😂
The last time was in the late 90s when a JCB severed the mains cable that was fun being stuck in a lift with a claustrophobic lady screaming , BUT BUT BUT what about the standby generators do they not work ?
Why do we have Passport control the Boards are fully open and Refugees Don’t have passports money fresh clothes …
ANYONE GOT 50p FOR THE ELECTRIC METER. ?????
Just think all those people will NOT get compo due to it being a power fault
Would be ok unless there was a connection. Gads.
This is the future if we go for green energy
Like we have an infinite amount of oil reserves
Taking it migration to renewables isnt going well.
Everybody vote GREEN!!
The wind mills are not working properly people no wind no power.
No ones even surprised,.
Folkd must have plenty of money up there in manchester
You think Manchester Airport is exclusive to Mancunians?
Good start to a holiday
Cornwall is nice this time of the year, life is an illusion
Just Stop Oil
fly from newcastle your friendly airport,
"thanks pet"
No disrespect. Great people, place
Third world
Russia did it
Is everyone running away from uk because they don't want to vote
Smelly cheese atmosphere in comments
Watching this on a beach in Thailand.
👌
Oops
Moral of the story, If you want a job done and wanted job done properly never trust someone else to top up the electricity meter…
Imagine how that would be if it wasn't South Africa. They had an profitable airline, but that's since when bankrupt.
Its funny how they want to stop people travelling anywhere, some kind of situation occurs at holiday times. just saying like.
@@hazelwray4184 My bad lol.
Life in the uk 😮

Net zero anyone?
Like we have infinite amount of oil. Oh no oil no flights, no airport no problem.
The far-leftwing headbangers, will blame that brexit thing we voted for...but were denied !
The sun’s out ☀️ Get out, sweetheart. Get a life. Because unless you’re a dim alcoholic - aka a Russian - trolling and spreading disinformation, you must be a really isolated, lonely Brit. It shouldn’t be that way. Go out- meet some people. Have some… fun with your wife. Just enjoy life, mate.

It's their fault and nothing to do with Brexit. DEI hiring. The country is deteriorating into the 3rd world.
The Far-left? - mostly centre-left/centre right liberals opposed to brexit.
BOOMER ALERT!! Thank you for using the term "power cut", and not that horrible Americanism.
Lucky if they are delayed for 4 hours they get around €500 i think 😂
I am actually important
Thats why you smell like turd jokes to me 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
This is cruelty
You clearly haven’t experienced real life issues . Luck you 😊
It is cruelty if it is intentional.
This could be intentional. The future in a microcosm.
lemme guess hamas also did it
Also did what?
