"Supplies were stopped in the early hours of this morning due to quality issues with fuel from the Essar refinery at Stanlow, near Ellesmere Port.

Stocks were finally exhausted at around 6pm leaving up to ten flights facing cancellation, the airport said.

The airport said that this is the first time that it has ever run out - although it came close to doing so in 2008.

It uses around three million litres of aviation fuel per day."
