Holidaymakers flying from Manchester airport faced delays on Saturday (22 June) after an IT failure meant they could not check in for flights.

The problem, which affected the airport’s three terminals, started at around 11.30am and caused long queues at check-in desks as some airlines tried to check in passengers manually, which led to some flights being delayed.

The airport said that the IT problem had been resolved during Saturday afternoon.

“An IT issue affected check-in for a selection of our airlines, predominantly in terminals one and two,” said the airport in a tweet.

“We are pleased to confirm the situation has been resolved and we apologise to our passengers for the inconvenience this may have caused to their journey.”
