Manchester Airport warns of more baggage delays and says Swissport 'not able to provide adequate resources'

Manchester Airport has warned customers of potential delays and said it is 'disappointing' that Swissport is 'not able to provide adequate resources' during the current busy festive travel period.

Travellers could have to wait longer to disembark their aircraft or face more delays at baggage collection after landing in Manchester due to 'staffing challenges' faced by Swissport, the airport said.

It comes days after passengers claimed they had to wait as many as six hours for their bags, with a shortage in staff available to help. Swissport apologised and said the recent cold temperatures were to blame, as well as staff sickness.
