Massive queue snakes around Manchester Airport as travel chaos continues for third day

A massive queue snaked around Manchester Airport on Monday morning as travel chaos continued for a third day.

Britons flocking abroad for the Easter break are said to be facing “absolute chaos” with Covid-enforced staff shortages causing disruption.

EasyJet are also facing staff issues, with the budget airline forced to cancel up to 100 more flights on Monday.
