Bristol Airport chaos as early morning 'carnage' sees 'unacceptable queues' and people waiting up to three hours

Bosses at Bristol Airport have apologised after admitting that security queues on Friday morning were "unacceptable". Various posts on social media showed long queues with one person saying that barriers were pushed over and hundreds faces missing flights.

There had been issues with queues at the airport, which is popular with passengers from Wales, earlier this year but it seemed that issues had been resolved.

But a statement from the airport this morning said that "far fewer security staff were working than planned". Urgent talks are now being held with the security business partner.
