HUNDREDS of passengers have been grounded after chaos broke out at Manchester Airport following huge security queues. The airport has been hit by claims that they are understaffed as travelle…
Customers were asked to arrive at the airport at the earliest time their airline recommends ahead of the festive season.
Daniel said: “The queues ran all the way through the concourse with three queues into one. It was 40 minutes before I actually entered security.“There was quite a lot of pushing. There were calls for passengers to go through for late flights and those caused mini stampedes.“I saw people pass out - two older people and a boy. Of course the advice with Omicron is to keep our distance, but people were just stagnant in that area.
“There was zero information coming through from staff. They kept saying on the tannoy that for anyone on the Emirates flight to Dubai, it was being held back.“I got through security at 10.15pm and just before my boyfriend messaged to say he could see my flight had taken off.Fiona and other passengers were forced to go back through security after buying £200 tickets on the first flight to Dublin in the morning.
“Customer service staff worked hard to assist passengers during the evening, and we diverted resources from Terminal Two to support.
