As the snow lays on the ground lightly, many people will understandably be worried about catching flights today. Manchester Airport said this morning they were busy clearing the runways but they were in fact still open unless customers are told otherwise about their flight bookings. A statement last night stated: “The cold weather is here and our teams are working hard to prepare the airfield and clear any potential snow overnight to minimise disruption. Northern tweeted: “Due to train crew unavailability, less services than usual are able to operate on the Blackpool North to Manchester Airport line. “Customers may use Transpennine Express services between Lancaster/Preston and Manchester Airport.”
