Manchester Airport, the third-busiest in Britain, cancelled over 100 flights affecting thousands of passengers Sunday following a major power cut. At least 20 percent of all outgoing and incoming flights were cancelled, a Manchester Airport spokesperson said, adding that it expected further disruption. The power cut led to problems with airport security and baggage systems, according to Chris Woodroofe, the airport managing director. EasyJet warned of "very long queues" for security and said passengers could only board flights with cabin bags. Last month, a nationwide outage of immigration e-gates caused long delays for thousands of passengers.
