Full list of Manchester Airport flight cancellations and delays

As of Wednesday, July 29, two Loganair services and one Jet2 flight have been cancelled, while several departures earlier in the day have left more than 20 minutes later than scheduled.

The cancelled flights are the 2.05pm Loganair service to Exeter, the 4.55pm Loganair service to Southampton and the 7pm Jet2 service to Heraklion in Greece.

Flights to destinations including Rhodes, Dubrovnik, Malaga, Faro, Antalya, Dalaman, Alicante, Corfu and Tenerife were among those delayed by more than 20 minutes.

Flight delays can happen for a number of reasons.

Common causes include poor weather, air traffic control restrictions, technical issues with aircraft, late-arriving inbound planes, staffing shortages and operational problems affecting airlines or airports.

During the busy summer holiday period, delays can also build throughout the day as aircraft and crews fall behind schedule.

Passengers due to travel today are advised to check the latest information with their airline before setting off for the airport, as departure times can change at short notice.
