‘Unforeseen staffing issues’ close Kirkwall’s air traffic control

A Hial spokesperson said: “Wherever possible, we try to plan such closures around our flight schedule but regrettably this has not been possible on this occasion, and a limited number of flights are affected.

“Passengers should contact their airline directly for the latest information on their flight. We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause.”

Loganair said its services were affected by the closure of air traffic control.

The airline said it arranged welfare support and overnight accommodation for passengers affected on Wednesday.

A spokesperson said an additional Edinburgh – Kirkwall return service would depart Edinburgh at 15:30.

They added: “We apologise for the inconvenience caused, which is outwith Loganair’s control, and thank our customers for their patience and understanding while we work to get them to their destinations.”
