UK’s Manchester Airport resumes operations after disruption

Manchester Airport in the United Kingdom is resuming operations and flights are expected to resume, airport authorities say, after a power outage caused widespread disruption at Terminals 1 and 2 earlier in the day.

It was not clear what led to Sunday’s power outage, but Manchester Airport said in a statement that it was working with airlines to reschedule canceled flights in the coming days, adding that flights scheduled for Monday would not be affected.

The airport said in an earlier post on social media platform X that passengers due to fly from Terminal 3 should proceed to the airport as usual unless otherwise advised by the airline, but could be affected by delays.

The outage was first reported by Sky News, which said a problem with the power supply affected the airport and a number of other buildings.

Power has been restored, but services will be affected throughout the day, the report added.
