On Sunday afternoon, air traffic at Manchester Airport, the third busiest airport in Great Britain in terms of passenger numbers, was disrupted due to a power outage. More than 60 flights had to be canceled, with the biggest impact on Terminals 1 and 2. Passengers departing from these terminals were advised not to come to the airport and to contact their airline for further information. Those leaving from Terminal 3 may experience delays and possible issues with their luggage.
After several hours of disruption, air traffic resumed in the late afternoon. The airport assured passengers that operations were being restored and that no further problems were expected before Monday. Passengers were encouraged to stay updated with their airlines for any changes to their travel plans.
Despite the inconvenience caused by the power outage, Manchester Airport acted quickly to address the situation and keep passengers informed. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of contingency plans in case of unexpected disruptions in air travel. Passengers are urged to remain patient and understanding during such situations as airlines and airports work together to ensure the safety and comfort of travelers.
