Manchester Airport passengers have reported chaos in recent weeks and months, with travellers speaking of snaking queues, delays and even cancellations.
Pictures shared by frustrated passengers on social media on Friday showed long queues of people waiting to get through security. This follows on from weeks of chaos at Manchester Airport, with scenes of long waits at check-in desks and security, abandoned baggage left in check-in halls and holiday cancellations and delays.
A spokesperson for Manchester Airport said queues in Terminal 1 and 2 reached up to an hour during peak times on Friday morning. Wait times in Terminal 3 were under an hour, they said. Queues through security have since gone back down to between 15 and 30 minutes, they added.
