Boy in tears and passenger 'ill and dehydrated' after day of travel chaos at Manchester Airport

A passenger felt “dehydrated and ill” while others were left in tears after spending 17 HOURS in Manchester Airport following a day of travel chaos.

Many had their journeys cancelled or delayed after the airport had to close both of its runways due to snowfall on Saturday morning (December 10).

Bosses said health and safety was the 'top priority' as they apologised for the delays. They added the runways were cleared on Friday but more work was needed to remove further slush and snow from the ground.
