Flights departing the UK's Manchester Airport faced cancellations and severe delays on Sunday after a power cut in the area caused widespread disruption, an airport spokesperson said.
A significant number of flights, particularly from Terminals 1 and 2, were expected to be delayed or canceled, the spokesperson said.
The disruption was first reported by Sky News, which said an issue with the power supply affected the airport and a number of other buildings. Power has been restored but the impact will affect services throughout the day, the report added.
"Passengers due to travel from Terminals 1 or 2 are advised to contact their airlines before coming to the airport. Passengers due to fly from Terminal 3 should come to the airport as normal unless advised otherwise by their airline but could be affected by delays," the airport spokesperson said.

The State Department has created a special task force to assist Americans seeking to leave Israel and other Middle Eastern countries amid the conflict with Iran, although no government evacuations are currently planned.

The task force run by the Bureau of Consular Affairs is operating 24 hours to provide information to US citizens and lawful permanent residents wanting to return to the United States.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters Tuesday that “we continue to monitor the complex and rapidly evolving situation on the ground as we continue to assess and address the needs of US citizens.”

She would not say how many people had sought advice from the task force.

There are some 700,000 Americans, many of them dual US-Israeli citizens, now in Israel and thousands more in other Middle Eastern countries, including Iran.
