Week old news but not reported here:
Scores of passengers were left grounded yesterday after security chaos at Liverpool Airport, the Echo reports. Passengers were unable to board a series of early-morning flights as queues snaked through the terminal building.
Frustrated travellers accused airport bosses of failing to prepare for the busy Valentine’s Day weekend and said the security checks were ‘woefully undermanned.’ Flights to Paris, Rome and Ireland were hit by the confusion, with 39 people missing flights to eight different destinations.
A spokesman for the airport said: ‘It seems the Valentine’s weekend, half term and a metal detector being 10 minutes late opening caused these delays and we are investigating what happened. The full complement of security staff did appear to be working.’
