Easter holiday carnage has broken out in airports across the UK
The situation has become so dire that firefighters and police officers could be called in to help manage the chaos, according to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.
"It's a difficult moment for airports around the world having laid low for the pandemic, they've had to scale up very quickly. We understand the challenges that we've got. Speaking to LBC's reporters one angry traveller said: "No one knows where to go to get through security, no one knows where to queue up to get their bags in. Ultimately we have a lot of customer services agents who are standing around who are just standing around."
Whilst one family turned up five hours early in the hopes they will make it through security in time: "We have seen on the TV all the problems with flights, so we got here about five hours before the flight. It is devastating for a lot of people, we don’t live in England to be honest we are just flying back home, when we flew from Barcelona we had no problem at all."
