Leeds Bradford Airport’s runway closure due to snow disrupts travel plans for many passengers
Leeds: So, Leeds Bradford Airport had to shut down its runway because of some serious snowfall. This has really messed up travel plans for a lot of folks.
This morning, they announced the runway closure and said their teams were on it, trying to clear the snow. They were hoping to have it open by midday.
But then, around midday, they had to break the news that the runway would stay closed until at least this afternoon. Bummer, right?
The heavy snow just kept coming, so they said the runway would be closed until further notice. With so many people stuck in the departure lounge, they had to limit access through security for a bit.
They promised to give another update at 2 PM. Their statement said they were working hard to get things back to normal as soon as it was safe.
They also advised everyone to check with their airlines for the latest flight info before heading to the airport. It’s a bit of a mess, but they’re doing their best.
With so many people around, they might have to manage security access based on flight priority. Their team will be around to help, so just keep an ear out for announcements.
They thanked everyone for their patience and understanding, and gave a shout-out to the teams working hard to clear the snow and keep things running as smoothly as possible.
