Holidaymakers have blasted Manchester Airport amid claims they were trapped in a fire escape with no communication during an evacuation this afternoon.
Passengers described hearing an alarm at the airport's terminal one shortly after 1pm today (25 August) before being directed to a emergency exit - where they claim they were stuck for at least half an hour.
The Manchester Evening News understands that a break glass box was accidentally triggered, prompting a small area of the terminal to be evacuated. It's understood normal service has since resumed and no flights were missed, cancelled or delayed.
