Prestwick airport reopens after flooding closure

Prestwick airport re-opened this morning after flooding forced its closure yesterday afternoon.

Four early morning flights today – to Palma, Wroclaw, Fuerteventura and Dublin – faced delays but passengers were told to travel to the airport as planned.

Passengers were advised to contact their airline for further information.

Four flights due to land at Prestwick last night were diverted to Edinburgh airport.

Prestwick was shut at 4.30pm yesterday due to “unprecedented rainfall and the consequential severe flooding”.

Ryanair and Wizz Air flights were both affected.
