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.

They don’t anticipate blackouts...
In Nigeria, the headline would be “Major Generator Failure at Airport”!

Over here in Nigeria we use specialised fuel tanker vehicles to load jet fuel into aircrafts. No way power outage can affect us, we better pass UK for that level tongue

In that part of the world......its a major news headline.........while in this part of the world it is business as usual.....Africa needs to be relocated a planet of their own (maybe Mercury)......!
In terms of electricity, Nigeria not Africa needs to be relocated, for your information, there is 24hours electricity in South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, and most North African nations, i have lived minimum 7months in all thia countries. i was shocked in Swaziland, 24hrs for months, i remember the day i had issues with my electricity, it was going high and low, i called their electricity company around 9.30pm, they apologized and promised to fix it the next day, on waking up by 6AM, lo and behold, it has been fixed, the only time there is power cut, is when there is heavy storm that has pulled down trees, but in 2hours it will be fixed, this is in Africa, tell FG to wake up.
