PASSENGERS at a Scottish airport have been warned of delays at security as a result of a “technical issue”.
People using Inverness Airport are being advised to turn up early as it is taking longer to process passengers at the security gate.
In a statement on Twitter/X, the airport said: “Due to a technical issue at Inverness Airport, we are currently experiencing longer delays in processing passengers through security.
“Passengers are advised to arrive early and go through to the departure lounge.”
Meanwhile, Loganair, which operates flights from the airport, has said the issue could affect passengers for several days.
In a statement on social media, the airline said: “We are aware of essential maintenance at security search at Inverness Airport over the next few days.

The airline says that flights are still continuing to run as scheduled. The specific nature of the technical issue has not yet been confirmed.
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!
