Passengers sue over airport gate injuries
24.02.10
Passengers have lodged compensation claims after alleging they were trapped in security gates at Manchester Airport, the Evening News reports. Seven people are pursuing legal action against the airport over claims they were injured by the gates at the passenger exit lanes in terminal one.
The knee-high gates were installed near the baggage collection area in arrivals area a year ago as part of a trial of measures to improve security. The claimants include parents of children, who are reported to have sustained leg injuries and bruising after allegedly being caught by the doors.
A spokesman for the airport confirmed that the incidents were being investigated but said he could not comment on individual cases until the legal process had been concluded. He also confirmed that the presence of the gates would be reviewed because they are part of a trial.
