Flights at Manchester Airport have been grounded and many others cancelled over a power cut that left planes unable to be refuelled, reports Daily Mail Uk.

A power failure caused a problem with getting fuel into the jets, leading to many passengers being stranded on the runway.

Manchester airport said so far a total of 48 inbound and outbound flights were cancelled – made up of 27 arrivals and 21 departures.
Flights to Paris, Belfast, Tenerife and Milan are among those cancelled, while others have been delayed by hours.

Passengers tweeted they have been stuck on grounded aircraft, some waiting for around three hours before being told to disembark from the jet.

Those flying to Manchester have also been affected, with some being told at around 5pm that there were ‘issues’ at the airport.

A spokesman for Manchester Airport confirmed there was a power outage earlier in the day that affected fuelling.

He said: ‘Due to a power issue this afternoon there is currently an issue with the fuel supply at the airport.
