No more travel chaos?

The earlier travel chaos at Manchester Airport now seems to be over. That alone will be a huge factor in getting the industry going again.

Sophie, 29 from Middleton, said: "I'm going to Spain in a few weeks, and that will be the time I have left the United Kingdom since February 2020."

Steve, 61 from Oldham, said: "I have been away a few times, but as someone who works in the industry, it's great to see so many enjoying their travels again."
