Flights have been cancelled at Southampton Airport after another technical issue at air traffic control.
The air traffic control technical issue is causing disruption to some flights at Southampton Airport, its owners have said.
AGS Airports, which operates Southampton, Glasgow and Aberdeen airports, said further disruption is expected due to the knock-on impact of the delays.
The main problems today are at Glasgow Airport, but lunchtime EasyJet flights due to take off from Southampton to Belfast International and Glasgow have already been cancelled.

An AGS spokesperson said: "A technical issue affecting NATS air traffic control services at the Prestwick Centre is causing disruption to some flight departures and arrivals. As a result, some services operating to and from our airports are experiencing delays, primarily at Glasgow Airport, and further disruption is expected due to the knock-on impact across the network.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused to passengers. This is the second time in as many weeks that a NATS technical issue has had a significant impact on services operating through our airports, and we fully appreciate the frustration this will cause those whose travel plans have been disrupted. We advise passengers to check with their airline for the latest flight information before travelling.”
A spokesperson for NATS, which has its headquarters in Whiteley, said: “The issue in our Prestwick centre is now fixed.
“We are working with airports and airlines to safely lift air traffic regulations as quickly as we can to minimise any further disruption.
“Passengers should still check the status of their flight with their airline. We apologise for the disruption.”
