There may be some disruption at Manchester Airport tomorrow as climate activists hold a protest.
Campaigners from the 'Stay Grounded UK' group will demonstrate at the airport from around 11am on Saturday (November 5).
The exact nature of the protest has not yet been confirmed, though the M.E.N understands that there may be some disruption for passengers.
The action, which the group said is being held against planned airport expansions, will coincide with the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice.

Dozens of protests are set to be held across the country, including outside the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
'Stay Grounded UK' will also hold protests at nine other airports in Bristol, Doncaster-Sheffield, Gatwick, Glasgow, Leeds-Bradford, London-City, Luton, Liverpool, and Southampton.
Ray Stewart, from Stay Grounded UK, said: "We warn that trusting yet-to-be-developed technology to reduce climate damaging emissions is extremely risky.
"Instead we demand that immediate action is taken to prevent any expansion of flying and associated emissions growth.
"Just one return flight from London to New York emits as much greenhouse gas as the average UK household does in a whole year."
The protest will come after campaigners were arrested after gluing themselves to a road near Manchester Airport as part of an environmental demonstration.
Police arrested eleven people during the Insulate Britain protest at the Hale Four Seasons roundabout, close to the M56 on Tuesday (November 2).
Traffic was brought to a standstill when the group blocked the road and glued their hands to the tarmac.
Police arrested eleven people, who have since all been bailed.
A Manchester Airport spokesman said: “We are aware of reports of potential demonstrations at airports across the UK this weekend.
“Manchester Airport and Greater Manchester Police have well-established procedures in place to enable peaceful protests to take place without any impact on operations.
“We will be working closely with GMP to ensure any arranged demonstrations take place legally and would like to reassure passengers there is nothing to suggest there will be any disruptions to their flights.”
