Power cut causes airport delays Cancelled flights after power cut
(about 1 hour later)
Electrical power at Manchester International Airport has been reinstated following a power cut. Almost 50 flights have been cancelled from Manchester airport after a power cut caused problems in its three terminals.
A surge in power is believed to have blown circuits which led to the cut at about 0530 BST. The reason behind the fault is still unknown. A flood in an electrical plant room in an office building caused the power cut at about 0530 BST, an airport spokesman said.
All three terminals at the airport were affected - phone lines and computer screens were out of use, an airport spokeswoman said. Forty eight domestic and European flights were cancelled and a number have been delayed.
She added that flights had not been cancelled but there were delays. Passengers are advised to travel as normal to catch their flights.
