Snow Grounds Flights At Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport has suspended all flights due to heavy snowfall, which has caused widespread transport disruption across northern England.
Despite the flight suspensions, air passengers have been told to continue to travel to the airport as normal as it is hoped the flights will resume as soon as possible.
A Manchester Airport spokesperson said: "We have currently suspended all departures and arrivals for a short period of time, whilst we are in the process of clearing both runways of snow so we can resume operations as quickly as possible.
"The safety and security of all of our passengers is of paramount importance and we ask for them to come to the airport as normal but to check with their airline for any further update."
