Birmingham Airport has claimed it will be “business as usual” today for customers despite snow falling overnight. The Solihull travel hub said passengers should “allow plenty of time” but that flights remain on schedule.
It comes after the airport closed for several hours this morning to allow workers to clear snow from the runway. BHX, issuing an update three hours after announcing the closure, said: “BHX has re-opened its runway after snow clearing.
“The airport is working together with airline and handling agents to get passengers on their way following the snow closure. Please check our website and with your airline for the latest flight information.”
