My mum and dad were in Zante airport at the time it happened. They are waiting to come home (flight was due to leave at 4.15pm) and are now stuck there as the airport has lost their communication in the tower, they have been told that will be delayed for about 1 to 2 hours.

Started to panic a bit there as i have not heard from my mum and dad yet, have sent texts and
have now tried to phone them but both mobiles are unable to take calls.
I have checked BAA website for glasgow airport and it now say's the flight is expected at 1949 so i am
guessing they are now on the plane.
Sorry wickedchris for not getting back to you as i was waiting for them to contact me but i hope that they are on the plane and just didn't get a chance to phone me
