Airports across the UK faced delays on Friday morning due to heavy snowfall as Storm Larisa battered the country overnight. Birmingham Airport suspended flights for around an hour to clear snow from the runway, while East Midlands Airport was forced to close for three hours.
“Our teams are continuing to clear the snow so we can be fully operational again soon but please check the status of flights with your airline if travelling today.”Birmingham Airport said on Twitter: “Our runway is back in action after being cleared of snow. #BHX is open and operational. Customer advice: expect delays to departing flights as our ground crews de-ice the backed-up aircraft. Check our website and with your airline for the latest information.
Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice issued by the Met Office remain in place for large parts of the UK, with a warning for ice covering Greater Manchester lasting until 10am on Saturday.
