Flights at Manchester Airport have resumed after a power cut caused a day of chaos. Up to 90,000 passengers were affected as flights were cancelled and scheduled arrivals diverted. Check-in and departures at Terminal 1 and 2 have now fully re-started, the airport said in an update. Officials said further disruption is not expected on Monday and they are working to reschedule cancelled flights and reunite passengers without their bags. Airport managing director Chris Woodroofe said a "fault with a cable had caused a power surge that took down security systems and baggage screening".
