They tweeted: “I have just been evacuated from an area of T1 at Manchester Airport due to an incident. Hope everyone/everything is ok.”
Rescue workers, including a fire engine, are on site.
Another passenger tweeted: “What a joke. 1 hour to get through security in Manchester.
“As soon as I get through, will the area be evacuated due to a fire? No where is open and there is a line to get stuff from Smiths. #manchesterairport”
Another wrote: “@manairport What a joke…no other words could describe the absolutely traumatizing experience this airport is right now #Do it better“
They weren’t the only ones to criticize the lack of communication.
“Would have been nice if someone had the sanity to let people know what’s going on… bad order,” read a tweet from another.
