Manchester Airport has issued a warning to travellers almost a week after heavy snow brought its runways to a standstill. Planes were grounded last Saturday morning as the airport faced bitter temperatures and a flurry of snow.
The conditions had a knock-on effect throughout the weekend and earlier this week, with passengers reporting long delays for flights and baggage. Today (December 16), the airport has issued a warning to anyone travelling to and from the airport over the next few days, with more freezing weather expected in the final weekend before Christmas.
A spokesperson for Manchester Airport said: "Due to the cold weather forecast for this weekend, our teams are working hard to prepare the airfield and are on stand-by to clear any snow that falls overnight as quickly as possible. We are well-placed to minimise any potential disruption, but please check with your airline for any up-to-date flight information if you are travelling over the next couple of days.
