‘Heavy snowfall’ causes Manchester Airport to close its runways

As freezing fog, sleet, and snow hamper travel across the UK, passengers have been encouraged to contact their airline for the most recent flight information.

Due to the amount of snowfall, Manchester Airport has closed both runways.

A tweet read as follows: “We’ve blocked both runways temporarily due to the significant snowfall. Health and safety will always come first, and business will pick back up as soon as possible.”

Numerous flights are impacted, therefore passengers are urged to contact their airline for the latest recent travel information.

It comes as the Met Office warned freezing fog, sleet and snow could bring travel disruption to parts of the UK during the coming days.

Southeast England has been covered by a yellow weather warning for snow and ice on Sunday and Monday.

The western coast of England, Wales, and the north of Northern Ireland have warnings for ice on Saturday and Sunday.

Scotland, apart from the southwest, has a yellow warning for snow and ice covering Saturday and Sunday.
