Thick fog is disrupting flights at UK airports for a second day and several flights have been cancelled from Aberdeen airport’s schedule.
Around 45 flights – equivalent to 10% of departures – have been cancelled from Heathrow Airport as a yellow weather warning for fog covers much of England and east Wales.
Flights from London City airport, Scasta airport, Humberside and Manchester have all been cancelled.
Special procedures kick in at UK airports when fog cuts visibility to less than 600m.
Under this system, passenger planes are fitted with an instrument landing system (ILS), which allows them to be guided towards the airport by a radio signal. It also directs them on take-off.
