Liverpool Airport praised for lack of queues as Manchester chaos continues

As Manchester Airport is beset with long queues, passengers have praised Liverpool John Lennon Airport for its comparative ease of access.

Passengers at Manchester Airport have been met with chaos in recent weeks, with queues spiralling out of control due to staff shortages. Baggage handlers have said they are ‘under more stress than ever’ due to ‘unexpected’ demand over the last few weeks.

The airport was slammed as an "absolute shambles" by former ECHO journalist James Pearce as Liverpool FC fans flying from Manchester to Lisbon for tonight's Champions League clash with Benfica were met with huge queues yesterday. Fans reported waiting times of up to two hours to get through security, while one passenger told the ECHO that the queues led to flights being delayed.
