A number of flights due to arrive at Glasgow Airport were forced to divert elsewhere on Sunday due to high winds as Storm Isha batters Scotland.
Met Office yellow warnings have been in place from midday – with the more severe high-impact amber warnings for wind in place until Monday morning.
10 flights that were scheduled to land at Glasgow Airport diverted to other airports across the UK such as Glasgow Prestwick, Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool and London Stansted.
Among them were Jet2 flight LS156 from Tenerife South, which diverted to London Stansted and EasyJet flight EZY869 from London Gatwick, which diverted to Glasgow Prestwick.
Hi there, due to adverse weather conditions caused by storm Isha, flight LS156 Tenerife South to Glasgow has had to divert to London Stansted Airport and we have had to arrange coach transfers for our customers as a result of the weather. Thank you, Oli
