Flights have been grounded at Liverpool John Lennon Airport because a power failure is impacting air traffic control.
The airport announced the failure shortly before 2pm and it means flights have been temporarily suspended.
A spokesperson for the airport said: ‘Passengers, or those meeting flights, should contact their airline for the latest flight information.
‘Engineers are working to resolve this as soon as possible, with updates to follow.’
It’s not yet known when the power failure could be fixed, with no estimated time provided by the airport.
