A number of flights to and from Glasgow Airport have been axed as travel chaos continues for a second day.

Holidaymakers have been warned disruption 'could last for days' after a technical fault in the UK's air traffic control (ATC) system on Monday (August 28) left thousands of passengers stranded and flights delayed or scrapped.

On Tuesday, approximately 20 flights in total (both arrivals and departures) were cancelled at Glasgow Airport.

The airport averages around 200 movements per day.

Passengers have been urged to check with their individual airlines for the latest flight updates.

The issue started on Monday after a technical glitch meant flight plans had to be input manually by controllers, causing more than a quarter of departures and arrivals to be axed.

The disruption could last until Friday as many aircraft and crews are out of position.

A notice to travellers on the Glasgow Airport website read: "National Air Traffic Services (NATS) are continuing to ensure a return to normal operations across the UK following yesterday’s technical issue.

"A small number of today’s services continue to be affected and we would remind passengers to check with their individual airlines for the latest flight updates."

Aviation analytics company Cirium said 790 departures and 785 arrivals were cancelled across all UK airports on Monday.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper said it was the worst incident of its kind in “nearly a decade” and announced an “independent review” will be carried out.

He told GB News: “This was a technical fault. We do not think this was a cybersecurity incident.

“And what will happen now with an incident of this magnitude is there will be an independent review.

“The Civil Aviation Authority will be putting together a report in the coming days, which obviously I will take a look at to see whether there are lessons to learn for the future, to see whether we can reduce the impact of this again.

“It’s nearly a decade since there was a significant issue like this.

“We want to make sure it doesn’t happen again, because of all the disruption that’s been caused to passengers across the country.”
