Manchester Airport is experiencing knock on effects from yesterday’s severe weather conditions, but from 11.00pm last night Runway 1 has been operating as normal.
We are continuing to clear the backlog of flights. Some flights from yesterday are still to leave. The majority of these flights will be leaving today, however some airlines have re-booked passengers onto flights later in the week.
We are working with our airlines to arrange overnight accommodation for passengers whose flights have been delayed, however some passengers stayed in the terminals overnight where they were given food, water and blankets to make them as comfortable as possible.
The safety of our passengers is our main priority and our staff are working incredibly hard to clear the ice and snow from our 750 hectare site.
We are urging all passengers to check with their airline before they travel to the airport as bad weather in Europe and USA means some airlines have cancelled flights.
