Manchester Airport warning as flights cancelled

Manchester Airport passengers are being warned as a number of flights due to land at the airport have been cancelled this week.

It comes as Aer Lingus pilots started an indefinite work-to-rule at midnight on Wednesday in an ongoing dispute over pay. This means pilots will not work overtime or carry out any other duties out-of-hours.

There is also an eight-hour strike planned from 5am to 1pm on Saturday, June 29.
