Manchester and Edinburgh See Morning Flight Delays Over 30 Minutes

The reports rely on live Flightradar24 data, offering a snapshot of departures rather than official airport statements.

Overview

  • Flightradar24 showed multiple departures from both airports running more than 30 minutes late on Thursday morning.
  • At Manchester, delays listed included TUI and Jet2 early flights and a British Airways service to Heathrow that left 54 minutes late.
  • In Edinburgh, several flights slipped past an hour, including Finnair AY1372 delayed 1 hour 12 minutes and Aer Lingus Regional EI3651 delayed 1 hour 33 minutes.
  • The regional outlets advised passengers to check their flight status before leaving for the airport because live tracking can change quickly.
  • The pieces were produced via a USA Today partnership and did not cite causes for the delays, reflecting third-party tracking of actual departure times.
