Leeds Bradford Airport has not disclosed what the issue is, but advised travellers to contact airlines for the most up-to-date information on flights.
Tonight’s statement added:
We are working to resolve the disruption as soon as possible, the safety and comfort of the passengers travelling through our terminal is our number one priority. Our team is on the ground in the terminal to answer any customer queries regarding departures.
