Manchester Airport CHAOS After Major Power Cut

Flights are expected to “run as usual” on Monday after heavy disruption hit passengers over the weekend due to a major power cut, Manchester Airport said.
The outage, which hit systems in the early hours of Sunday, meant that by lunchtime, 66 outbound flights (25% of all departures) and 50 inbound journeys (18% of all arrivals) were axed, according to aviation analytics company Cirium.
The airport had said no flights were departing from terminals one and two, leading to huge queues and disruption to baggage processing throughout the day.
In an update posted to social media on Sunday night, Manchester Airport said it is not anticipating any “further disruption” for Monday.

All by design

[@bobg1069]

Where was their 'no break' back up power system, which is standard in all major airports and many smaller ones? Where was their surge protection? Where was their no delay auto switching from mains to standby? Just another UK failure in infrastructure and customer service. First World Country? I think not.
