Citizens’ leaders had previously urged airport officials to “catch up or get out” as Andy Burnham warned that long queues at the airport could last for months until the summer.
Police and transport staff will be dispatched to help the situation, the mayor of Greater Manchester has revealed, while passengers will receive real-time information on the internet queue and the option to deliver their luggage the night before their flight as part of a new action plan resolving a staff crisis.
The airport had previously stated: “As we continue to recover from the pandemic and the number of passengers is increasing, the queues may be longer than usual. If you are planning to travel in the coming weeks, please arrive as soon as possible. “The airline allows. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
