Manchester Airport is preparing for a busy day in the aftermath of chaos caused by the air traffic control glitch. Passengers are being warned to expect busy terminals than usual today (August 29) as airlines deal with a backlog caused by Monday's NATS air traffic issue.
So far this morning, 17 flights have been cancelled from Manchester's departures, while a further 26 have been delayed. Further disruption is expected throughout the course of the day.
In a statement issued this morning, passengers are being urged to check the latest on their flights before they arrive at Manchester Airport. A spokesperson for Manchester Airport said: "Following yesterday's nationwide technical issue that affected air traffic control, there continues to be some delays and cancellations.

"Please check the status of your flight with your airline before travelling to the airport. As our airlines look to accommodate passengers whose travel plans have been disrupted over the past 24 hours, our terminals may be busier than usual at times.
"We are working hard with our airlines and their handling agents to get you through the airport as smoothly as possible. We thank you for your understanding."
Arrivals to Manchester Airport are also affected, with a number of cancellations and delays reported so far this morning. The issue is affecting other UK airports too - with 32 departures and 31 arrivals cancelled at Heathrow this morning.
