An airport worker has claimed that staff have been forced to lock themselves away from threatening customers, including being spat at.
The staff member, who works at a company operating at Manchester Airport and asked to remain anonymous, spoke to the Mirror and said that workers are feeling unsettled about the weeks ahead.
They said that already this year, colleagues have been targeted by furious passengers melting down on the concourse, and claimed one woman had even threatened a worker with a sharp pen.
