Manchester Airport flight delay chaos

Manchester Airport has been named the worst in the UK for flight delays, with average departure times running nearly 20 minutes behind schedule in 2025.

The airport also suffered a major disruption on Monday morning when a police chase ended in a serious crash outside Terminal 2.

The upper forecourt drop-off zone was closed for three hours as emergency services treated the driver for serious injuries.

Airport officials have branded the delay rankings 'misleading,' arguing they fail to account for the impact of regional weather and air traffic control strikes.
