Manchester Airport, one of the UK's busiest airports, faced significant disruptions due to a major power cut impacting a large number of flights from Terminals 1 and 2. Passengers were left stranded for hours, with long lines and lack of information causing frustration. Some passengers, like Katie McGovern with her young daughter, endured difficult situations without proper assistance. The airport has restored power but warns of possible flight cancellations and advises passengers to contact their airlines before heading to the airport. The disruption led to chaos and delays, with some flights redirected to other airports. The situation left travelers, like Sam Martin and Richard Bromley, stranded with significant delays and changes to their travel plans. The airport is working to get passengers on their flights, but the aftermath of the outage may cause further delays and baggage issues for affected travelers.
