All flights from Manchester Airport are facing cancellations and serious delays after a “major power outage”.

The airport said “widespread disruption” was particularly affecting departures from Terminals 1 and 2 and urged passengers traveling from there to stay away until further notice.

The power outage is believed to have only affected the airport, although it was initially thought to have affected a wider surrounding area.

Power has been restored but “the disruption caused by the outage means that, in some cases, baggage may not be on board these flights,” the airport said.

It added that it was “working to get passengers already at the airport onto flights as quickly as possible.”

“We will work with airlines to ensure that passengers find any baggage that is not on their flight as soon as possible,” added an airport statement.

Passengers already inside the airport are facing significant delays and possible cancellations, with images showing huge queues this morning.

Terminals 1 and 2 are severely affected, while flights from Terminal 3 are also experiencing some delays.
