Bristol Airport is now reopen after having to ground flights for hours due to snow earlier today. Flights this morning (March 8) were forced to stay on the ground while workers cleared the runways from snow and ice.
A significant amount of snow fell in the city overnight and, at around 7am this morning, Bristol Airport announced flights would not be taking off. Some planes arriving into Bristol were instead diverted to Birmingham Airport due to the conditions.
Now the airport has announced flights are once again taking off and landing in Bristol, though there may be residual delays and disruption across the flight network.
