A number of holidaymakers said they were 'pleasantly surprised' at the queueing situation as Manchester Airport today as bosses said they are to draft in a further 150 security staff to deal with the big summer getaway.
Today (Friday) marked the first day of school summer holidays, with a total of 3.5 million people are due to jet off from the airport over the next six weeks whilst the kids are off.
Chaos seen at the airport over the past few months, which has been blamed on industry-wide staff shortages, has caused anxiety amongst many of those preparing to jet off for the first time since the pandemic hit in 2020.
