Manchester Airport runway closed due to snow - latest advice and what to do if you're due to fly
Heavy snow grounded planes at Manchester Airport this morning with passengers left stranded waiting for their flights to take off. Both runways had to be closed due to the adverse weather conditions causing disruption to dozens of flights.
Another user, @stunic, posted a video of a lone snow plough clearing one of the runways, while @MrsBobsy said she was "currently stuck on a grounded plane, watching snow ploughs go up and down". Are the runways open? Earlier today, the airport confirmed that both runways had to be closed on Saturday morning. In a statement, a spokesperson said: “Due to heavy snow fall, we have temporary closed both runways. Health and safety will always be our top priority and operations will resume at the earliest opportunity.”
An airport spokesperson confirmed shortly after 11am that eight outbound planes had been cancelled at Manchester Airport so far. A further 17 inbound planes had to be diverted, while four inbound flights had also been cancelled, the airport said. Easyjet issued a statement advising passengers that if their flight is cancelled they will be offered a transfer free of charge. A spokesperson said: “Like other airlines easyJet is experiencing some disruption to its flying programme to and from Manchester as a result of the closure of the runway due to snow earlier today.
