Snow forces Bristol Airport to suspend all flights as extreme weather sparks travel chaos

Flight operations have been suspended at Bristol Airport amid snow, with officials citing the “challenging weather”.

A Bristol Airport spokesperson said: “The Bristol Airport team are working hard on snow clearing but challenging weather means that flight operations have been suspended until later tonight. This will mainly impact inbound flights but any concerned customers are advised to contact their airline for more information.”

Bristol Airport said in an update on its website that customers should contact their airlines for the latest flight information.

It comes amid an amber warning for snow and rare freezing rain covering most of Wales and central England, including the Midlands and the north-west cities of Liverpool and Manchester, is in place from 6pm on Saturday to midday on Sunday. A second warning for snow covering most of northern England including Leeds, Sheffield and the Lake District, has been issued from 9pm on Saturday to midnight on Sunday.
