'Absolute chaos' at airport as major disruption follows power cut

Passengers in a major UK airport are missing flights and are stuck in massive queues after a major power cut. The scene at Manchester Airport has been described as 'absolute chaos'.

The power cut hit Terminal 3 just before 8am this morning (Wednesday, May 24)). It caused issues with checking-in and boarding, leaving passengers massively late for their flights.

Some missed their flights due to delays and said 'planes took off without them', according to the Manchester Evening News. One passenger said she got to the airport at 7am for her 10am Ryanair flight to Tenerife, but missed it as she was struck trying to check in her luggage.
