Frustrated passengers claimed they had been stranded on grounded aircraft for hours as the airport said there were a total of 69 cancellations.
Thirty-seven of the cancelled flights were arrivals and 32 were departures.
The Manchester Evening News reported problems began around 3.30pm with terminals now packed with travellers.
The airport tweeted: “Due to a power issue this afternoon there is currently an issue with the fuel supply at the airport and we have engineers on-site working to fix this.
“Please speak to your airline for specific flight information and updates.”
