Flights were unable to depart Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 until this afternoon

The boss of Manchester Airport has said a ‘fault’ with a cable caused the major power cut that led to thousands of people having their flights axed.

He told a reporter that at 1.30am there was a ‘fault’ with a cable on the airport's site, which sent a surge of power across the electrical network and affected the baggage screening and security systems. "And I'm really sorry that happened and we're now making sure as we look forward, that impact doesn't carry on into tomorrow."
