Manchester Airport: Runways reopen after fresh snow grounds planes

Manchester Airport's runways have reopened after a fresh deluge of snow had to be cleared - but the disruption has caused delays to some flights.

The temporary closure took place to allow snow plough teams to move the snow as "quickly as possible" earlier, the airport said.

It comes after yet more heavy snowfall across Greater Manchester and the wider region, with a yellow weather warning in place across the north-west of England.

Several schools across the region have also closed as a result.
