Airport Issues Urgent Advisory to Travellers
A spokesperson for Norwich Airport confirmed that the fault has affected "the use of some systems for which alternative power must be available under aviation regulations." This has led to operational challenges, prompting the airport to advise all passengers to check with their airlines before travelling to avoid further inconvenience.

The technical fault has been identified, and repairs are expected to be completed overnight. Airport officials are working diligently to restore normal operations, but in the meantime, travellers are urged to stay informed about their flight statuses through direct communication with their carriers.
