ALL flights to and from Aberdeen Airport have been suspended until further notice.
The transport hub, which was used by around 3 million people each year pre-Covid, said it was sorry for any “inconvenience” as flights were called off with no information provided as to when they may restart.
According to the Airport’s official social media, there was “unscheduled maintenance work” being carried out.
“We can confirm we are currently carrying out some unscheduled maintenance work and have had to temporarily suspend operations,” a statement said.
“We aim to have this completed as quickly as possible with minimum disruption, however, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
“Passengers are being provided with refreshment vouchers and we will provide a further update as soon as the work is complete.
“Passengers are advised to contact their airline for specific flight information.”
People at the airport took to social media to complain about a lack of information from staff.
"Loganair a fiasco at Aberdeen Airport," one traveller tweeted.
"Many flights cancelled. Hundreds stranded. No information from airline," he alleged.
UPDATE:
Usual service has been resumed, the airport has said. However, anyone hoping to travel is advised to contact their airline for details.
Aberdeen Airport tweeted: "The unscheduled maintenance from this morning has now been completed and we have resumed full operations.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and passengers are advised to contact their airline for specific flight information."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
