A new managing director has been appointed at Manchester Airport. Chris Woodroofe will take over the top job next week following the departure of Karen Smart, who quit in April following a backlash over long passenger queues, staff shortages and calls from city leaders for management to 'get a grip' of the crisis
His first task will be to tackle the major problems that have plagued the airport since Covid travel restrictions were eased. As the Manchester Evening News has reported passengers have faced long queues at check-in and security, while there's also been lengthy delays in baggage collection.
