Jersey flights delayed after radar problems

Flights at Jersey Airport experienced delays on Monday due to interruptions to its radar service.

The airport moved its air traffic service to a contingency facility in the north of the island to allow some flights to operate.

Flights started to return to normal at about 18:30 GMT when air traffic services returned to the airport.

The airport opened later into the evening to clear any backlog that had built up after the delays.

Jersey normally handles all Channel Island air traffic control, but Guernsey took back control of their own airspace while the radar issues were resolved.
