TECHNICAL problems at Malaga airport have forced flights to be diverted to nearby airports in Sevilla and Granada.
At least nine flights have been diverted due to radar failure so far.

At this moment in time it is unknown if further flights will be affected but Aena have now announced that the problem has been resolved.
