Storm Eunice chaos at Bristol Airport as passengers stuck for hours after landing

Passengers arriving at Bristol Airport during Storm Eunice have been left waiting for hours at the terminal or on board planes due to high winds.

The pilots managed to land safely in the incredibly windy conditions, but airport authorities decided it was too windy for the ground crews to work - leaving hundreds of passengers stranded in the baggage reclaim hall. Others reported having to wait for long periods on the plane, some feeling queasy after a turbulent landing, until it was safe to disembark.

Pictured above is the scene at around 5.30pm today (Friday, February 18), hours after several flights arrived, as passengers were told to wait for the wind to drop before they could get their bags back. Flights from Tenerife, Krakow and Dublin arrived in the early afternoon, and passengers on those flights and others that have come in since are still - as of 5.30pm on Friday, February 18 - were still waiting for their bags at the time of writing.
