GLASGOW Airport's electronic flight information system has crashed.
One passenger at the transport hub has taken to Twitter to show a whiteboard with flight times scrawled on it.
The airport said on Twitter earlier: “Our flight information system is temporarily suspended and we are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. For the latest flight updates please contact your airline directly.”
Hi Christine, we are manually issuing flight updates on Twitter. Please refer to the feed for the latest information. Thanks

Posting an image of the whiteboard online, Twitter user Christine Murray wrote: “This is the flight info board...Only one in the whole airport.”
