Manchester Airport: Flights Grounded As Power Cut Leaves Planes Unable To Refuel

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

Stuck on the tarmac for hours, barely any information from the airline or airport, none of it useful. Are we leaving or not? What happens next? Shambles as always #manchesterairport #Ryanair

I think the only word to describe the sitauation at Manchester at the moment is chaotic- a power surge has cut the fuel supply off! departures are delayed & inbound flights are diverting, and nobody in the airport seems to know what’s happening.😂🤦🏼♀️ pic.twitter.com/SUcBGJg4R0

Heads up on anyone is flying out of #ManchesterAirport this evening - no flights leaving atm as there’s no fuel! They’ll only tell you once you’re ON THE PLANE. Been sat on the tarmac for 90 minutes.
