Operations are back to normal at Manchester Airport today after both runways were shut due to the snow.
Yesterday (Saturday), both Runway 1 and Runway 2 had to be temporarily shut off due to snow and slush on the ground. The Manchester Evening News understands that a total of 40 inbound flights to the airport were cancelled or diverted throughout the day, while a total of 32 outbound flights were cancelled.
Passengers also complained of long delays and being stuck on planes for 'hours' due to the disruption at the airport. One frustrated passenger whose flight was delayed claimed the snow on the ground that halted operations was 'no more than a centimetre'.
