And it was expected that there would be no commercial flying for the rest of the day as the fog and drizzle was likely to be an ongoing problem. There was some good news in that difficulties that had been experienced with the Airport’s instrument landing system have been resolved, according to the Assistant Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean. Scores of flights were showing delayed or cancelled to a variety of destinations across the UK and France. However, airlines were allowing passengers to check in and clear security under the new arrangements in the departures hall at the Airport that came into force yesterday. Ian Taylor, general manager for market development for airline Flybe, said that it had been agreed with the Airport that in the event of fog, airlines would check passengers in and allow them to go through security.
