Manchester Airport issues fresh warning to passengers

Manchester Airport bosses have issued a fresh warning to passengers due to depart this weekend.

It comes amid continued travel disruption, with the airline industry struggling to bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic. Cabin crew from easyJet and Ryanair have agreed to strike on a number of days this summer.

Ryanair staff are planning industrial action in five European countries in June and July. Strikes are set to take place in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium.

Similarly, easyJet cabin crew in Spain will strike for nine days during this year's summer season. easyJet staff are set to walk out in phases.

While no UK airline staff are currently planning to take industrial action, thousands of British holidaymakers with trips booked to the impacted countries could see their plans thrown into chaos.

On Friday, Manchester Airport warned passengers they made need to set off earlier, if travelling this weekend. A tweet from the airport's Twitter account said: "Saturday 25th June to Sunday 26th June #M56 planned exit and exit closures.
