Airport baggage systems hit by power outage

East Midlands Airport has said a number of its systems have been affected by a power cut.

The airport in Castle Donington, Leicestershire, said its baggage service was out of action after a "brief" power cut on Monday.

In a statement at about 12:15 BST the airport said engineers had fixed the issue and the airport is "returning to normal operations".

Passengers have been advised to go to the airport as usual, with a spokesperson advising any who become "separated from their luggage" to stay in contact with their airline who will reunite them at their destination.

In a statement, the airport apologised for the inconvenience caused to passengers during the morning.

It said the issue was only affecting the baggage system used for departures.
