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.
The airport has now confirmed that one runway has since reopened, but passengers are being urged to check with airlines ahead of travelling for any changes to their schedule.
A number of passengers ended up stuck on grounded flights at the airport, with some posting videos from the plane on social media. On Twitter, @paulpanyan posted a clip of a plane wing covered in snow. "It’s still melting. Still nothing is happening," he said. "3.5 hours in and still not moved. Nice one Manchester Airport. so happy I got up at 3am for this."
