Photos shared on Twitter by passenger Andrea Atherton show a large and troubling crack in the wall around a steel support beam. Atherton also said passengers, who had been waiting on a flight to Palma in Mallorca, had been evacuated outside after the temporary floors sounded as though they were “collapsing.”

Passengers were waiting to board their flight to Palma, the resort city and capital of the Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca, when the incident occurred.

A spokesman for the airport confirmed the incident to RT, but said the structural issue is only affecting Gate 212 in Terminal 2. The gate is inside a temporary building while renovation work takes place.

One passenger told the Manchester Evening News: “About an hour ago there was a loud noise. Everyone was panicking. It looks like something is wrong with the building, it is collapsing. The fire brigade have evacuated the building. They didn’t tell anybody what was going on. We are now stood outside on the airfield.”

Atherton later tweeted that passengers were being allowed to board their flight.

Passengers said they heard a loud noise at around 7am and began to panic.

They were then evacuated onto the airfield and airport staff then explained what was happening.

The incident is only affecting passengers travelling from gate 212 and is not having an impact on other flights, the airport said.

A spokesman for the airport said the gate was evacuated due to a crack in the floor and not the wall.

They added: “A small crack appeared in the floor. We have evacuated one flight as a precaution in that area.”

Passengers were evacuated from part of Manchester Airport after cracks appeared in the floor of Terminal 2.

The structural damage occurred at a temporary gate lounge in the terminal, an airport spokesman said, where “some cracks appeared in the floor”.

Passengers were evacuated from that area as a “precautionary measure” and the damage “will be investigated and obviously repaired”, he added.

A single flight was impacted by the alert, the spokesman said.

An image tweeted by a passenger showed a large crack where a girder joined a wall – not the floor – and she said the “temporary floors sound like they are collapsing”.

The airport said it was aware of the photograph and that an investigation was underway, but could not provide further information.

The temporary gate lounge was opened last autumn and was due to remain for two years while expansion work was completed. It can accommodate about 650 passengers.

Its a temporary gate. Not the actual building itself.
