The travel industry has been hit with chaos over May half term.
Flights all over the country have been cancelled as the travel sector continues to struggle with staff shortages. Around 34,000 TUI passengers hoping to fly from Manchester Airport over the next month will have their holiday plans crushed.
The travel operator say they have taken the drastic step in a bid to help resolve the "issues" which have caused flight delays, cancellations and baggage problems in recent days. Passengers flying from Manchester Airport have been met with hours of delays, abandoned flights and disruption.
