Manchester Airport has announced the hiring of hundreds of new staff in an attempt to ease ongoing travel chaos.
More than 1,600 people applied for jobs at the airport in April with 500 new recruits going through security training and vetting processes. Sixty new starters joined last month, with another 200 expected to join this month.
The new hires have come after the airport attracted brutal criticism over long delays and missed flights due to short staffing. Last month also saw the resignation of the managing director Karen Smart.
