Several flights have been diverted to Manchester Airport.

It is unclear how long the airport will be affected – and holidaymakers are being told to contact their airline.

A spokesperson for the airport said: “Unfortunately a power failure is impacting Air Traffic Control & aircraft operations are temporarily suspended.

“Passengers, or those meeting flights, should contact their airline for the latest flight information.

“Engineers are working to resolve this as soon as possible, with updates to follow.”
