Travellers passing through Manchester Airport will be thankful for a relatively low level of flight disruption today as things stand, with only a handful of delays and cancellations.

Just four flights are currently showing as cancelled, while four arrivals are currently delayed.

The delayed departures are:

  • 8.40am to Belfast (EZY090, Easyjet) – delayed by 10 minutes

Passengers will be pleased to see that Manchester Airport is so far operating relatively normally today, given recent disruption due to a National Air Traffic Services fault.

There can be many reasons for delayed or cancelled flights, including adverse weather, air traffic control restrictions, aircraft arriving late from previous flights or crew-related issues.

Minor issues can quickly cause knock-on effects that create issues for multiple flights in multiple destinations.
