FLIGHTS at Manchester Airport have resumed, but are subject to delays, following this morning’s heavy snowfall.

The country’s third busiest airport came to a standstill earlier today, with flights cancelled when both runways were shut for several hours.

Runways re-opened shortly before 2pm, but passengers have been warned to expect delays.

An airport spokesman said: "Following the poor weather experienced this morning, flights have now resumed but are subject to delays.

"The safety and security of our passengers is paramount and we continue to make significant efforts to clear snow from other parts of the airfield.

"Further periods of poor weather are forecast for the rest of the day and we would ask all passengers to contact their airline before travelling to Manchester Airport."
