Police are ‘willing to step in to do whatever we can’ to help solve the chaos at Manchester Airport but have ruled out 'baggage handling type tasks'.
GMP has already been deployed to the ailing international airport, to assist in security. Chief Constable Stephen Watson, speaking at the site of a dawn raid in Blackley, said officers stepping in to help includes increasing presence to "make sure people keep calm heads on the situation", MEN reports.
He also clarified that he would not put so many officers into the terminals that people in other areas of Greater Manchester would suffer. It comes after weeks of chaos at the airport with long passenger queues and people waiting for days for luggage to arrive.
