Officials from Manchester Airport have said they are confident major disruption to services will be avoided as fuel supplies were set to be restored earlier today (June 7th).The northern travel facility said it had been told that refinery production was back to normal, but fuel supplies would not be restored until this morning, reports Travel Weekly. It previously warned carriers would be unable to refuel at the airport, with some forced to make the decision to cancel, delay or divert certain services to ensure planes would not run out of power.Yesterday, fuel supplies to the facility were stopped due to issues with quality from the Essar refinery at Stanlow near Ellesmere Port, with up to ten flights facing cancellation as stocks were drained at around 18:00 BST. According to Manchester Airport - which uses around three million litres of aviation fuel per day - this was the first time this problem had ever occurred, despite coming close to taking place in 2008. Short-haul airlines avoided the disruption by refuelling in alternative locations, but some long journeys were delayed due to the need to fill up on the way to their destination.Passengers flying out of the establishment were asked to consult organisations to check if their flights were running before travelling. A spokesman for the Essar refinery told BBC News that the shortage had been the result of "production issues", while the airport advised individuals to continue checking schedules to ensure their travel plans are not disrupted. "Disruption has been kept at a minimum and so far no flights have been cancelled or diverted. We would still advise passengers travelling this evening to check their flight status with the airline before coming to the airport," the establishment added.Travel up offers to all visitors' news and information which is relevant to airlines, airports, events in various destinations, festivals and others in free.
