Dozens of flights to Scotland have been cancelled, diverted or delayed - with one airport closing altogether
Air passengers travelling to and from Scotland have been affected by the snow and plunging temperatures on Friday, with dozens of flights cancelled, delayed or diverted - and one airport closing altogether.
Passengers flying into Glasgow Airport have already faced cancellations and diversions, with the 7.35am service from Dublin this morning landing instead in Edinburgh. Services departing Glasgow for London, Belfast, Dublin, Stornoway and other destinations have also announced cancellations or delays. "We are still waiting on more advice. We may possibly get a flight from London City to Edinburgh at 6:10pm, then a taxi to get our car in Glasgow."
Traffic Scotland said wintry conditions were affecting the M73, M80, M90 and M8. The A9, A83 and A85 are also affected. "From late morning, snow at low levels will turn to sleet or rain, but further snow is likely above 200 metres where up to 20 cm may accumulate by afternoon."
