Overview
- Greater Manchester Police said a pursuit ended in a crash near Terminal 2, leaving the driver in hospital with serious injuries.
- Manchester Airport closed the Terminal 2 upper forecourt for about three hours after the collision.
- During the closure, staff redirected drivers to the lower forecourt, which caused congestion and longer drop-off times.
- The airport says the upper forecourt has now reopened, though earlier delays affected passengers arriving by car.
- Terminal 2 serves most airlines except Ryanair, so any closure there can quickly affect large numbers of travellers.
