Manchester Airport: Flights cancelled and delayed after fuel problem https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-m ... r-48330568
Once upon a time the UK had a countrywide fuel pipeline grid which fed military & civilian airports since Cold War days.
Those shysters in the political bubble decided some time ago to sell off this strategic asset so some rich folk could get even richer out of taxpayers' property.
Is this episode at MAN the first crack in the new privatised facility?
Fuel Starvation.

It has happened at JNB too, but when you put savages in charge of technology it is no big surprise.
