British Airways passengers are facing delays across the country with IT issues affecting the airline.
The delays are affecting flights across Europe with the airline believed to have lost communication with planes already in the air.
Passengers who were already on British Airways planes at Glasgow Airport shared on social media that they had been left sitting there for up to an hour because of the situation.
The airport’s live tracker showed flights involving the airline were delayed for around an hour.
A spokesperson for Edinburgh Airport confirmed they were having no major issues currently and it’s believed to be the same at other airports, with only British Airways flights suffering from the outage.
A spokesperson for Glasgow Airport urged passengers to ensure they had the latest information from their airline before travelling.
