Heaps of luggage seen piling up at carousel in Manchester Airport

Heaps of luggage were seen piling up at a carousel in Manchester Airport. It comes as excited holiday makers faced another difficult day with large security queues.

Footage shared to Twitter by @paulquinn007 in the early hours of Wednesday morning (June 8), showed large heaps of luggage piling up at the end of a carousel at a baggage hall, with many strewn on to the floor. In the post he said the airport was 'in disarray from start to finish'.

It follows on from weeks of mayhem for passengers passing through the airport, which has admitted staff shortages and apologised recently. And it was just last week that the airport saw scenes of 'pandemonium', as TUI customers were told to go home without their luggage after waiting hours for it to come off the plane.

The airport has since said that airlines and ground-handlers are responsible for their own services, with passengers urged to direct any concerns to their airline, who are 'best placed to respond'. It is understood that blockages on the carousel can cause bags to fall from the belt but that issues are dealt with by staff on duty in the baggage hall.

Scores of passengers have previously lost their bags at Manchester Airport, with many deciding to simply give up waiting for their bags to come off the luggage carousels and come back another day to claim them through lost property.

However, this option might not be practical for those living further away from Manchester, or who can’t spend the extra time coming back to the airport.
