Passengers travelling from Belfast this evening have been advised they may face
some disruption.

However,
the impact appears to be affecting those travelling from George Best Belfast
City Airport more than those flying through Belfast International.

A
spokesperson for Belfast City Airport confirmed that while the technical
problems have now been resolved, knock-on effects could still impact flights
across the UK.

“Due
to earlier air traffic control issues affecting the London area, which have now
been resolved, there may be disruption to flights due to depart and arrive
across the UK this evening,” they said in a statement.

Meanwhile,
a spokesperson for Belfast International Airport reported “minimal impact” this
evening, telling BBC News NI that flights continue to operate as normal.
