UK: Manchester Airport sorry as huge queues lead to missed flights

Manchester Airport has apologised after huge security queues caused passengers to miss flights. Hundreds of travellers were left waiting for hours earlier, with many venting their frustrations online. The airport said unexpectedly high passenger numbers put "considerable strain" on staff while 60% of bags had been rejected at security. Passenger Paul Keegan said everyone was "tired and upset" after he waited five hours to board a flight. Hundreds of passengers were forced to queue in the car park outside the airport on Thursday morning.<br/>
