While the airport remains open, passengers are being referred to their specific airline for further updates and information about their flights.
A Manchester Airport spokesperson said the issue had been resolved at 03:00 BST and that "most scheduled flights" would be operated as planned on Monday.
"However, we expect that there will be a small number of delays and cancellations as a result of the issues experienced," the spokesperson told BBC News.
