Disruption at Glasgow Airport - Glasgow Airport Remains Closed
The BAA have announced at 10pm today on their website that Glasgow Airport remains closed following the events of earlier this afternoon. The terminal is not expected to open until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Passengers are advised not to travel to the airport at this time.
Anyone due to fly overnight, or during Sunday, should confirm the status of their flight with their airline before leaving for the airport. All flights remain suspended for the time being.
Around 2,300 passengers are being coached from Glasgow Airport to a reception centre at the SECC, where they will be reunited with friends and family.
The UK Threat Level has been raised to Critical after the events in London and Glasgow. A threat level of critical means that an attack is expected imminently. This is only the second time the threat level has been raised to that level. See the Home Office website for more information on Threat Levels.
Sky News reports Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport and Blackpool Airport have also been closed, with heightened security at Edinburgh Airport and Newcastle Airport. Travellers are strongly recommended to contact their airlines before setting off for the airport.
