Although some travellers reported no problems at all, others described a long queue snaking out of Terminal 2 into the walkway towards Terminal 1.
Some travellers experienced more problems with huge queues at Manchester Airport this morning as a summer of travel chaos continued. Pictures showed the queue snaking from Terminal 2 and stretching along the walkway towards Terminal 1 early this morning.
TUI admitted staff were faced with 'operational issues' this morning but said the problem was exacerbated by some passengers arriving eight hours before their scheduled departure. Other passengers in other terminals reported no issues and airport officials said the issue in T2 had nothing to do with security, which they said had experienced no significant problems today.A spokeswoman for TUI told the M.E.N: "I can confirm there were no operational issues at Manchester Airport this morning. Unfortunately, there are passengers arriving up to eight hours before their flight which contributes to a longer wait time.
Unions claimed the dispute centred on wage levels and pay for pre-take-off and post-landing duties. A Ryanair spokesperson said last week the unions should return to the negotiating table to deliver improvements instead of disrupting passenger travel plans. Nadine Houghton, GMB national officer, said: “With grim predictability, holidaymakers face massive disruption thanks to the pig-headedness of British Airways.
