Video footage has emerged of fed-up holidaymakers at Manchester Airport climbing through a baggage carousel curtain in a bid to retrieve luggage stranded behind it.
One passenger, who flew back in to Terminal 3 on Ryanair from Porto in Portugal on Monday, told of three and a half hour delays to reclaim suitcases and bags. The footage shows armed police being called to the carousel amid angry scenes.
The holidaymaker, a 36-year-old woman from Chadderton, Oldham, told the Manchester Evening News people were offering to load luggage onto the carousel belts themselves before Greater Manchester Police officers attended.
