All flights have been grounded at Aberdeen Airport amid a major power outage.

Flights travelling to and from the airport have been halted. Staff have warned passengers to expect delays as there will be no arrivals or departures in the immediate future.

The power cut was first reported in the Aberdeenshire area at 4.08pm on Saturday. It is understood to have left a large area of Dyce – including Aberdeen Airport – without electricity.
