BBC’s Jordan North stuck abroad during travel chaos warns airport has ‘run out of beer’

Yesterday, thousands of people were left stranded at the airport or stuck abroad after a system failure occurred with the UK’s air-traffic control system. Holidaymakers took to Twitter to share delays of hours – or even days.

One couple were stuck in Switzerland and could only get home by booking a flight for tomorrow, August 30. They’ve shelled out over £1,400 due to the delays.

While reports state that the system issue has now been fixed many Brits are still having their outgoing flights delayed. Thousands are also stuck abroad waiting to get a flight home – with some saying the small airports they were at had "no food" available.

But, it wasn’t getting dinner that worried one traveller in Spain. Jordan North posted on Twitter, now known as X, complaining that the airport had run out of another important resource – beer.

Sharing a snap to his profile, @jordannorth1, BBC presenter and podcaster, said: "Delayed at Malaga airport for possibly ‘many hours’, and they’ve ran out of beer at the terminal!"

    It's important to note that while you're welcome to enjoy a beverage at the airport it is an offence to be drunk on a plane. If you drink too much ahead of boarding you could be denied entry to the plane.

    Plus, anyone caught drinking their own alcohol on a flight – rather than that bought from the airline – could be handed a hefty fine. So be sensible and don't get drunk.
