On one of the busiest travel days of the year, an issue with French air traffic control has caused delays to flights to and from Newcastle Airport.
Flights to and from Malaga, Ibiza, Alicante, Palma, Corfu and Dubrovnik are among those affected.
A spokesman for Newcastle Airport said: “We are aware of some issues with French air traffic control systems, which are affecting some flights to and from France and Spain.
“We advise passengers on affected flights that they may experience delays today, and to check with their airline for further updates.
“Live flight information is available on the Newcastle Airport App and on our website. We will provide a further update when we have more information. ”
The issue has now been resolved but a backlog of delays remain.
