Sky News have reported that climate change protesters have set up a blockade to the entrance of Manchester Airport, Plane Stupid spokesman Robbie Gillett has said that activists have locked arms and are preventing passengers passing through security.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police had said that we were called to Terminal Three at Manchester Airport just after 7.30am following reports of a protest taking place. Once police got to the scene they could see that there were 12 protesters who were stopping passengers from passing through security.
