Travellers have been warned to expect delays after a power outage at Stansted Airport.
The problems affected systems across the airport, including baggage handling, check-in and security.
Although it has now been resolved, knock-on delays remain and so people were warned to give themselves extra time.
The airport in Essex is not the only London airport hit by disruption today.
A Stansted spokesperson said: ‘Earlier this morning, we experienced a partial power outage in the terminal that affected a number of airport systems, including check-in, security and baggage.
‘Power is now restored, and our teams are working hard to get systems back up and running as quickly as possible.
‘However, it is taking slightly longer than usual for passengers to pass through the terminal while systems recover.
‘Flights are operating as normal, but passengers are advised to allow plenty of time for their travel and check with their airline for the most up-to-date flight information.
‘We apologise to passengers for the inconvenience and disruption to their journeys today.’
