LIVE Runways currently closed at Manchester Airport due to snow
Published: January 9, 2025
Manchester Airport has suspended flights due to snowy weather conditions, resulting in low visibility of 2.4 kilometers. As of early morning, operations have started to gradually resume with the landing of a long-haul flight from Hainan Airlines.
In my expert opinion, such weather-related disruptions highlight the importance of airports having robust contingency plans in place. Implementing advanced weather monitoring systems and clear communication strategies can help minimize passenger inconvenience and ensure safety during adverse conditions. Additionally, increasing the resilience of airport infrastructure to handle extreme weather could improve overall operational efficiency.
